OREANDA-NEWS. After intense negotiations with a key client of RCT Hydraulic Tooling AG (RCT), a subsidiary of Accu Holding AG (Accu), the long-standing business relationship has been terminated by mutual agreement. Due to the significant exposure to this customer and continuing difficulties to turn RCT into a profitable business, alternative solutions or realignment of the company are exhausted. Accu is therefore evaluating to close down these unprofitable activities.

Accu had issued a letter of comfort and guarantees to RCT. Potential financial obligations for Accu are subject of the current examination. Closing this operational activity will cease a multiannual cash-absorbing manufacturing facility.
