Golf is a demanding sport which combines a global approach with extremely
precise movements. It calls for strategic intelligence, a good understanding
of the dangers a player has to confront at each hole, technical prowess and
the right equipment. Golf is played all over the world, with courses adapted
to specific local conditions. To play golf is above all a quest for performance,
with players constantly trying to surpass themselves.
During 2012, CMI concentrated its strategic intelligence on defining its
future trajectory. Following a detailed analysis of its environment and of
the threats to which it is exposed, the Group set its target and selected the
tactics which will help it take the obstacles out of play.
Today, the flag is in the hole, the approach has been defined and the clubs
are ready and waiting. With the benefit of the support of its team-mates,
and thanks to the passion which drives it on, CMI can hope to play a perfect
round in its desire to achieve sustainable industrial growth.

A new driving force
In 2012, CMI recorded the best results in its history. This performance comes at
the end of ten years of private independent shareholding during which CMI has
radically changed, becoming a diversified and economically sound worldwide
technological group. The year 2012 was characterised by substantial commercial,
technological and operational progress within a depressed worldwide economic
context. But above all, this pivotal year has been dedicated to giving the Group a
new driving force and preparing it for the future: the development of operational
structures, construction of an extension to the headquarters building, strategic
reflections and investment in innovation and talent.

Strategic
reflection
2012: historic result
CMI celebrated its ten years of independent shareholding
with an operating result of more than 32 million Euros, up
by 60% compared to 2011. Its turnover, growing since
2010, returned to its highest level in 2012, that of before
the 2008 crisis. This sustained operational activity has
been equally spread among the four major sectors of
the Group: CMI Energy retains a
worldwide market share of more
than 10% in boilers for combined
cycle electricity plants, while also
developing its service activities
for plants in operation. CMI
Defence has completed two of
the five programs of a particularly
heavy workload. CMI Industry
has increased its activities in China and taken more orders
for diversified products. Where the operational activities
of CMI Services are concerned, these have developed in
particular in Brazil, where our teams are being very well
received by industrialists.
This order, which is the result of a patented development,
constitutes a key stage in positioning CMI Energy on the
market for producing electricity from renewable sources.
Driven by a capacity for innovation which forms part of its
DNA, CMI Defence presented a simulator embedded in a
turret as a world first at Eurosatory 2012, one of the major
defence shows in the world. It also completed its offering
with medium calibre weapon systems.
CMI Industry passed an important
threshold in the development
of continuous rolling with the
profound modernization and
commissioning of a rolling
mill at Avilès (Spain). It also
continued to develop innovative
industrial solutions for effluent treatment, energy efficiency,
benefiting from biomass, extractive metallurgy and Service
to Projects.
Innovation
and talents
Finally, order intake, down compared to 2011, is very
promising in terms of an upturn in activities: more than half
of orders taken involve applications which have formed
part of the Group portfolio for fewer than five years.
A successful round
Despite a somewhat depressed economic context, CMI
multiplied its commercial, strategic and operational
successes in 2012.
CMI Energy won its first order for a boiler for a 50 MWe
“tower“ thermo-solar electric power plant. This represents
a world premier, which will be installed in South Africa.
6
For its part, CMI Services has developed an innovative
solution for the storage of activated components for French
nuclear power plants, thus demonstrating its capacity to
supply high value-added services.
Playing on a worldwide course
Where international coverage is concerned, CMI has
strengthened its facilities in India, by doubling the capacity
of its Taloja factory, whose extension was inaugurated
in 2012. In China, CMI continues to develop its strategic
partnerships with the major steelmaking players: the joint
venture established in 2012 with WISET, a subsidiary of
giant WISCO, represents the fourth capital participation of
the Group in China. In Brazil, CMI Services has opened a
new agency in the State of Rio de Janeiro, in order to face
up to demand from more and more diversified clients. And
finally, CMI has increased prospecting activities in Africa,
where it won several contracts in 2012.
Innovation: always a winning
shot
More than ever, Group growth is allied to its capacity to
innovate. This is why during 2012 CMI invested a quarter
of its operating result in development activities. Programs
underway are aiming to extend the range of products
of CMI Defence. They also involve solutions designed to
improve the performance of steelmaking plants and for
producing new qualities of steel. The green economy
is not being left out, with the development of innovative
processes for producing electricity from renewable sources
and for reducing the environmental footprint of industries.
Shooting the Group into the
21st century
This development dynamic is driven by the permanent
attention paid to people management, whether within CMI
Group itself or via collaboration with external organisms. In
2012, CMI took great care to involve students, researchers
and young companies in its technological projects. The
Group also laid the first stone of its new headquarters,
which will provide a stimulating working environment,
designed to break down the technical and organisational
barriers between teams and encourage a multi-disciplinary
approach.
A new driving force
In 2012, the Group took the time to freeze frame and invest
in a profound strategic reflection exercise in order to define
the course for the next decade. The vision which resulted
from this represents an extension of what has
always been the Group’s strength: sustained
growth, equally divided among several sectors of
activity, and based on an extension of the offering
within its current trades. This vision, named CMI
2017 in reference to the year of the company’s
two hundredth anniversary, will be finalised and
deployed at the beginning of 2013. The first
results of this vision will be seen during the year.
Following ten years of a winning strategy
confirmed by the best results in its history, CMI
is setting off on the next part of its round. Its
ambitions have been defined, its choices made
and its trajectory set. Future progress is based on
two major axes: a stable shareholding structure
driven by a genuine industrial ambition and a
growing attractiveness to the Group’s clients,
personnel and partners.

792.8
Growing constantly since 2010,
the Group’s turnover has now
returned to a level equivalent to
that of before the 2008 crisis,
792.8 million Euros. In ten years,
CMI has increased its turnover
by a factor of three.
32.1
Following ten years of positive
results, CMI has achieved the best
operational result in its history, at
32.1 million Euros.
51.4%
of orders written in 2012 involve
products and services in new
business domains.
3 677
At the end of 2012, the total
CMI workforce numbered 3 677
persons. Among these, one third
is active in the Group’s historical
territory (Belgium), another third
in the rest of Europe and the
remaining third in the rest of
the world, mainly in the BRIC
countries.
762
CMI took on 762 new starters in
2012, equivalent to more than
two (temporary or open-ended)
contracts per day.

portfolio on January 1st, 2008. On the geographical
level, order intake in Europe remains relatively stable,
decreases in the BRIC countries and the Middle East,
and doubles in Africa, where the Group intends to
develop in the future. The tender book for 2013 is
also promising.

Making constant progress since 2010, CMI turnover
amounts to 792.8 million Euros. CMI thus returns
to a level of activity equivalent to that of before the
2008 crisis. Growth in 2012 is concentrated on the
activities of CMI Defence, and to a lesser degree on
those of CMI Industry. Continuing the growth trend
will depend upon the level of orders taken during the
first half of 2013.
The operating result of CMI amounts to 32.1 million
Euros, 60% up on 2011. Following ten years of
positive results, this outstanding performance confirms
the winning strategy pursued since the change in
shareholding in 2002. This performance in 2012 has
been principally driven by CMI Defence and CMI Energy.

compared to 2011 has to be seen in the light of an
even more significant reduction in the use of short
term financing to cover the Group’s working capital.
With a constant growth in average profitability, CMI
has gained the confidence of its financial partners,
who have multiplied the granting of bank guarantees
by a factor of six during the last ten years.

Strategic
orientations
Management based
on a sustainable
industrial vision
In 2012, the Group evaded the obstacles of the economic crisis by playing on
diversified fields on the geographical and technological fronts. It multiplied the
approaches and registered progress through significant innovations. Beyond the
commercial, operational, and technological successes of the year, CMI took the
time in 2012 to set its course for the future. The strategic orientations that resulted
from this reflection have set the CMI Group off on a new decade of success.

▶ Inauguration of the new factory at Taloja in India.
CMI 2017, a project for
commitment
adapting infrastructures and facilities. This in turn requires
investments that reflect the Group’s confidence in its
future.
The year 2012 was marked by a symbolic anniversary: ten
years of independent private shareholding for the CMI Group.
During this first decade, the Group underwent a profound
transformation: strong growth, development of service
activities, extension of the technologies portfolio, international
establishments, etc. Having increased its turnover and
operating income threefold and sevenfold respectively,
CMI now projects a new image – that of a worldwide,
technological, diversified and economically sound group.
In Belgium, CMI laid the foundation for the extension
of its headquarters in Seraing in February. Named the
“Orangerie“, this building represents an ambitious
architectural feat. It is connected to the Cockerill Chateau
which has been housing the Group’s headquarters for
nearly 200 years. As of autumn 2013, the “Cockerill
Chateau & Orangerie“ complex will constitute the Group’s
densest engineering concentration with some 600 people.
Equipped with modern facilities, it has been designed to
stimulate exchanges between the multidisciplinary teams
situated in Seraing and their counterparts anywhere in the
world. In extending its headquarters, CMI has set out the
working and cooperation methods for decades to come, in
line with its future development projects.
Drawing on the lessons of these ten years, the Group
capitalized on 2012 to rechart its roadmap. This led to
an exercise in strategic thinking that called extensively
on the driving forces of the Group. Named CMI 2017, a
reference to the company’s bicentennial, this in-depth
effort consolidated and structured the Group’s knowledge
in terms of markets, technologies and mobilizable skills to
identify potential development options. At the beginning
of 2013, CMI made its choices, charted its course and
defined its goals for the next decade.
The CMI 2017 vision comes in the wake of the strategy
deployed since 2002: strong and balanced growth for the
next ten years, continuing to expand the offering in the
current lines of business, within a stable shareholding driven
by a sustainable industrial vision. The choices made are
reflected in clear keywords: diversity, internationalization,
growth, added value, profitability, attractiveness.
Paving the way of working
for the future
The year 2012 was not only one of reflection concerning
the Group’s future. Preparing the future also requires
12
Innovation, the trump card
for success
More than 50% of the orders
booked by the Group in 2012
pertain to applications that were not
part of its offering five years ago.
This reflects a proactive approach
to diversification on the part of the
Group. True to its reputation for
technological excellence, CMI is
constantly seeking to develop new
products and services, alone or with
partners. In 2012, it allocated 8.1 million Euros, or one
quarter of its operating result, to support Research and
Development programs, in parallel with its engineering
activities which, by their very essence, include a sizeable
share of development.
Several of these innovations came to successful fruition in
2012. The CMI receiver for a thermosolar power station
developed jointly with the Spanish firm Abengoa was part
of an order won in May for the electric power plant Khi Solar
One to be installed in South Africa. CMI also landed its first
contract for a furnace dedicated to biomass torrefaction,
developed with the French Atomic Energy and Alternative
Energies Commission. In terms of services to nuclear
power stations, CMI pursued its innovations by designing
storage containers for activated nuclear components for
Electricité de France (EDF). Finally, research conducted
by CMI under the Intelligent Maintenance (MINT) project
continues to generate innovative services. In 2012, CMI
placed on the market the LI-corneTM system, dedicated to
reliability and optimization of manual lubricating operations.
It was also in 2012 that, driven by a capacity to innovate
that is part of its DNA, CMI unveiled a simulator embedded
in a turret by way of a world premier at Eurosatory 2012,
a major meeting point for the world of defense. It also
completed its offering with a medium calibre weapon
system developed in barely twelve
months and ready to be marketed
today. As for heat recovery boilers,
CMI fully optimized the design of its
horizontal configuration boilers by
developing three models adapted
to the specific needs of the market.
A strategy
teeming with
ambitions
Finally, in 2012, CMI continued to
make its innovation processes even
more professional. It thus bolstered
its intellectual property management capacities with training
and awareness raising programs for the project teams.
The management of the development portfolio was also
reinforced, as were the partnerships with academic and
scientific bodies, to create a first-rate innovative force.
▶ The International Technical Meeting, the Group rendez-vous for innovation.
A global presence
The diversification and growth of CMI are
also reflected by an international basis that
guarantees a global reach.
In India, CMI inaugurated the new layout of its
plant in Taloja (Maharashtra). The construction
of a new hall was accompanied by an indepth overhaul of the manufacturing flows and
management processes. Thus configured, the
Taloja site doubled its
production capacity to
become the Centre of
Excellence for Cold Rolling
Mills Manufacturing. Also
in India, CMI FPE, the
Group’s Indian subsidiary,
laid the foundations of a
new plant to be built in
Hedavali, near Khopoli, to
meet the future needs of the Group and of the
Indian market.
In Brazil, CMI Services developed its range
of activities and created a new entity in the
State of Rio de Janeiro.
Finally, in Africa, CMI Services stepped up its
canvassing of the market and landed several
promising contracts for sustainable business
activity on the continent in 2012.
Controlled risks
In parallel with its growth,
CMI continued to make
sizeable investments
in order to minimize its
exposure to risks of all
sorts. It reinforced its
coherence and solidity
with cross-sectional
programs to standardize
its management tools,
risk control processes
and financing methods.
Innovation,
engine
for progress
In China, CMI created Wuhan Cockerill
Engineering and Technology Co. Ltd, a
joint venture with WISET, the subsidiary of
the giant WISCO corporation. This is CMI’s
fourth capital interest in China. CMI Industry
also concluded a partnership with Siemens
VAI to conquer the Chinese electrical and
stainless steel market. Thanks to its strategic
partnerships with leading players, CMI is
in a good position to accompany the 12th
Chinese five-year plan which announces a
qualitative shift in Chinese industry toward
greener production with higher added value.
The Group reached a new milestone in this
approach in 2012 with the establishment
of a Risk Management Committee. Given
responsibility for the dynamic assessment of
the Group’s risk and the monitoring of action
plans, this committee started to update and
complete the consolidated risk map of the
Group dating from 2010. The establishment
of this committee is yet another step taken to
bolster the Group’s governance.
Drawing on ten years of experience, the
Engagement and Contract Monitoring Committee
is yet another centerpiece of this risk management

apparatus. A forum for reflection on the conditions
under which the Group embarks on new contracts,
then for periodic follow-up of the progress of such
contracts, this Committee met 220 times during
the year. The systematic reliance on this analysis
body guarantees that CMI starts its project with a
known, mitigated and controlled level of risk.
On the financial front, CMI deployed during the
year a pooling system for liquidities available
within the Group. Implemented in the Euro zone,
this cash pooling system helped improve the
Group’s overall financial capacity while reducing
its banking financing needs.
Ethics at the core of
sustainable development
Sustainable development is a permanent driving
force at CMI. The Group always endeavors to
achieve sustainable industrial development in its
projects for the sake of its customers, employees,
shareholders, local communities and the planet
as a whole.
The Group has set up an Ethics Committee to
share this principle among the whole of its staff.
This committee’s task is to define good practices
in business ethics and share them with all the
Group’s entities. It organizes and verifies the way
they are applied. Established in the last quarter
of 2012, this committee will be fully efficient
in 2013. By proceeding in this way, CMI has
formalized the importance it has for many years
attached to ethical, honest and upright behaviour
and practices from its employees.

Safety overriding priority
as always
CMI Group posted its best safety performance in 2012,
with a level of frequency of 5.19 and a level of severity of
0.10. These results cover the entire scope of the Group
including those of CMI FPE, its Indian subsidiary. Thanks
to the policy pursued for several years, safety is today
part and parcel of CMI Group’s organization and operating
procedures.
CMI creates jobs
The men and women who work at CMI are the Group’s
main asset. On 31 December 2012, the Group had
3 677 people under contract, up by 8.3% from the
previous year. This increase is particularly striking in
Brazil (+50%). It was also sizeable in India and France.
This growth is the result of an intensive
recruitment drive, with 762 contracts of
employment signed in 2012.
Safety
first
Global and fair management of a culturally
and geographically diverse workforce
requires improving the tools and processes
to create conditions for the professional
self-fulfillment of employees everywhere in the world.
The scope of electronic interfaces for recruitment and
assessment management was accordingly extended
to all the Group’s subsidiaries in 2012. CMI employees
everywhere on the planet now have access to the
same tools for managing their personal development
and advancement in the Group.

the year, nearly 500 employees attended at
least one of these four modules. Through
these programs devised specifically for the

and collective efficiency among its
employees by helping them complete their
project successfully.

2012 to transform it into a clear, attractive
and instructional showcase. The new website
presents the Group’s full portfolio of products
and services, including its world positioning, its
general organization and global ambition.
Attentive as it is to the image it projects to
the world, the Group also stepped up the
opportunities to share the CMI culture in-house
in 2012. The CMIpolis information meeting
held near the Group’s general headquarters in
Belgium was attended, as every year, by nearly
600 managers from every corner of the world.
This is the Group’s traditional meeting event at
the beginning of the year. Its expansion to the
regional level was another innovation in 2012:
Indiapolis in May and Chinapolis in September
were attended by Indian and Chinese employees
respectively in the presence of Group officials.
These three major events, together with local
meetings, helped reinforce pride for belonging to
the CMI Group. They also had a positive impact
on intercontinental cooperation within the Group
itself.

From
John Cockerill
to CMI
Based from the beginning in the former castle of the PrinceBishops of Liège, where John Cockerill was established in 1817,
CMI Group continues the tradition of this industrial genius who,
throughout his whole life, sparked off the remarkable economic
future for Wallonia (Belgium).
Always in contact with foreign countries and driven by diversified
interests, John Cockerill was a great industrial explorer, who
continues today to inspire his successors with a taste for
entrepreneurship and the determination to surpass oneself.
1817
John Cockerill, a British businessman,
begins his industrial activity as part of a
family business established in the Liège area
(Belgium), where it produces textile looms.
He soon becomes interested in steam
machinery and builds the first working steam
locomotive on the European continent.
1823-1910
The Cockerill establishments diversify their

CMI, an increasingly
sustainable group
CMI wishes to generate sustainable industrial progress for the benefit of its
customers, employees, shareholders, the communities in which it is located
and the planet. This determination constitutes the backdrop of all the Group’s
decisions based on the six cornerstones of its commitment.
1. Provide quality jobs
Providing quality jobs entails in particular an ongoing
commitment to occupational safety, strict compliance
with the relevant national and international legislation,
unwavering attention to the development of skills,
mechanisms for consultation and mobilization to
tackle looming challenges or, more simply, programs
to make the workplace more pleasant and more
ergonomic.
2. Reinforce governance
and promote responsible
behavior
Ethics Committee, codes of conduct for employees, an
ethics charter for financiers, an internal Audit unit…
CMI is constantly improving its governance tools.
It encourages its partners and employees to adopt
responsible individual and collective behavior.
3. Encourage the
development and
production of “green“
technologies
CMI places its expertise at the disposal of electricity
generation from renewable energy sources such as
the sun, wood and the wind. The Group considers
improvement of the ecological footprint a major
criterion for assessing its technological innovations.
Furthermore, it is the very aim of CMI to improve
the efficiency of facilities it is entrusted to design,
modernize or maintain. CMI is developing technologies
18
and services geared to reducing the environmental
footprint of its client industries by reducing energy
consumption, limiting and recycling polluting
emissions, and recovering lost calories and waste.
6. Guarantee the Group’s
growth and viability in
the long term
4. Reduce the Group’s own
environmental footprint
To remain viable and generate the financial means
for growth, the Group is sustained by a continuous
progress process along six axes. The progress
objectives are reviewed periodically depending on
the change of the environment, and action plans are
implemented at all levels of the organization, from the
Group to the individuals.
CMI endeavors to minimize its own environmental
footprint and is stepping up its actions to that
end: carbon footprint assessments of sites and
products, selective waste sorting, undertaking local
commitments to encourage remote communication
to reduce travel, employee awareness raising,
selection of supplies and suppliers, adapted mobility
policy, etc. Its environmental management meets the
requirements of the ISO 14001 standard and has
passed with flying colors Sustainable Development
audits.
5. Support local
developments in
communities where CMI
is established
The CMI Group is keen to contribute to the development
of regions in which it is established. Beyond the
repercussions of its economic activity in terms of jobs
and income, representatives of the CMI Group do not
hesitate to place their skills and facilities at the service
of local initiatives or to pay particular attention to the
demands of local residents, particularly when it comes
to supporting education, culture or sport.
Sustainable Development on a daily basis
The six great cornerstones of Sustainable Industrial Progress influence the Group’s choices at the highest level. They are also experienced daily,
through varied and at times very simple initiatives. Here are a few very concrete examples of local achievements which characterized the year
2012:
�
The selective collection of waste, the
volume of which has dropped by 30%
in seven years and for which CMI was
rewarded.

CMI Energy
Technologies
in the service
of enhanced
efficiency
CMI Energy designs, supplies and installs steam
generators associated with gas turbines of all capacities.
Its equipment generates steam for combined cycle (gassteam or solar) and cogeneration power plants, and for
process industries. CMI steam generators are a key
element for the growing energy performance of electric
power plants. In parallel, CMI Energy provides technical
assistance and expertise along with the overhaul and
modernization of boilers of all makes.
CMI Energy designs vertical and horizontal boilers with
natural, forced or assisted circulation. These boilers
are particularly adapted to operating in cycling mode
(frequent starting and stopping in accordance with the
demand for electricity), and can be installed behind
turbines fired by all types of fuels, including natural gas,
light, heavy or crude oil. They can also be used in hybrid
electric power stations, where a solar cycle is associated
with a conventional combined cycle.
Thanks to its extensive experience in steam generators,
CMI Energy has also developed steam generators for
high capacity thermo-solar electric power stations (CSP).
This equipment is adapted to “solar tower“ technology
(which operates by reheating a fluid contained in the
receiver installed on top of a tower upon which the sun’s
rays are concentrated).
All CMI boilers perfectly meet current market
requirements in terms of performance, power, yield and
flexibility.
CMI Energy provides support and guidance for its
customers throughout the world, both to install new
capacities and to maintain existing units. Its teams are
based in Liège (Belgium) and Erie (Pennsylvania, United
States). They rely on a worldwide marketing network and
cooperate with three licensees which essentially cover
China, South Korea and India.
The 2012 round
In 2012, CMI Energy recorded a major
commercial success with the first marketing
of a thermo-solar receiver developed and
patented by its teams.
CMI boilers for combined cycle power
plants also performed well, with 23 of them
sold throughout the world in 2012. With a
worldwide market share exceeding 10%,
CMI Energy and its licensees remain a
major reference point. CMI Energy retains
its technological leadership by constantly
improving the performance of its equipment
to offer its customers boilers for the electric
power stations of tomorrow.
And finally, 2012 was also a year dedicated
to aftermarket services, a strong point
of CMI Energy, which stands out for the
responsiveness and expertise of its teams
of experienced technicians.
Technological recognition
CMI landed the first order for a thermo-solar
receiver for the “tower“ electric power station
in Upington (South Africa) from the Spanish
company Abengoa Solar, shortly after honing
the development of this product. With power of
almost 300 MWth, the CMI receiver will generate
superheated high pressure steam to run a
50 MWe steam turbine. Stored in accumulators,
the surplus of steam can be called upon when
required to generate electricity, even at night.
Called Khi Solar One, this
50 MWe power station
will be commissioned
in 2014 and will supply
energy to more than
27 000 households. As a
CMI patented development,
this order constitutes a
key step: it positions CMI
Energy on the solar energy
generation market. CMI is
already developing thermosolar receivers with larger capacities, i.e. 100
and 400 MWe.

blasting pressure onto the soiled parts, using
CO2 at very low temperature.
In Belgium, CMI
Energy repaired a
seriously damaged
recovery boiler built in
1997 by a competitor.
Thanks to a rapid and
efficient intervention,
the teams of CMI
Energy managed to recommission the power

temperatures. The CMI boiler enables the electric
power station to reach its maximum power in
less than 30 minutes
with a yield exceeding
60%. This remarkable
performance is
highly appreciated by
electricity producers
confronted with a
growing fluctuation
in generation needs,
particularly to offset the
intermittent nature of
renewable energies.
An even more
competitive
design
A market share
exceeding 10%
In 2012, CMI Energy and its licensees sold 23
boilers throughout the world. CMI thus confirmed
its position, and thereby maintained its share
in the recovery boiler market at over 10%.
Independent from any turbine manufacturer, EPC
or electricity producer, CMI Energy demonstrates
its capacity to gain acceptance for the quality of
its offering throughout the world. Its boilers are
most often specified for the ever more efficient
and increasingly powerful latest generation
turbines.
One key driver:
technological excellence
CMI Energy has built a solid reputation by focusing
on improving the design of its products. In 2012,
its horizontal recovery boilers were optimized.
CMI Energy bolsters its competitiveness by now
providing three horizontal boiler designs. The
“CMI Bundle“ design meets the expectations
In China, Wuxi Huaguang Boiler, a licensee holder
of CMI Energy, multiplied its order bookings in
2012. This follows the extension of the CMI
licensing agreement
to include horizontal
technology and the opening
of a CMI sales office in
Wuxi in 2011. To keep pace
with growth in the Chinese
market, Wuxi expanded
its manufacturing and
assembling capacities in
2012.

solutions. The “CMI M-100“ design accelerates onsite assembly, thanks to the prefabrication of certain
structural and reinforcing elements in the workshop.
Finally, the “CMI B+“ design also simplifies assembly
as the frame columns are integrated in the workshop.
The Middle East,
a key market
CMI Energy has been conducting business in the
Middle East for several decades. In 2012, CMI Energy
sold eight boilers for the first combined cycle in Iraq
and two boilers in Turkey, bringing the number of CMI
boilers installed in this latter country to 25.

Outlook
In 2013, CMI Energy will concentrate its attention on commissioning the
solar power plant Khi Solar One, the performance of which will be decisive
for the future of “tower“ technology. It will also continue the development
of higher capacity solar receivers and will optimise its energy storage
mechanisms to strengthen its presence on the tower solar power station
market.
Where recovery boilers are concerned, the future situation is expected
to differ depending on markets. In Europe, the high price of gas (three
times higher than in the United States), the low impact of the CO2 quotas
mechanism and the subsidies granted to renewable energies, stand in the
way of enabling combined cycle power stations to operate sufficiently to
be profitable. Only a stable political framework in Europe, particularly with
regard to the remuneration of production capacities made available, could
revive investments. In the United States on the other hand, a highly active
market is expected, mainly following the massive exploitation of shale gas,
which makes the price of gas competitive. In the Middle East, and mainly
in Saudi Arabia, the conversion of open cycle gas turbines to combined
cycle holds out excellent prospects for CMI Energy, whose technology is
particularly well suited to this.
In line with its growth ambitions and with the CMI 2017 vision,
CMI Energy will also seek to strengthen its aftermarket service
activities for boilers installed in combined cycle power stations.
This market is particularly promising as 5 000 HRSG’s are in
operation throughout the world. CMI Energy also aims to broaden
its current offering. More specifically, with the support of its Indian
licensee Larsen & Toubro, it plans to promote single-wide boilers
installed behind gas turbines of 80 MW maximum. In 2013, it will
target the market of lower capacity power stations in South East
Asia, India and the Middle East.
Finally, CMI Energy will remain attentive to opportunities to develop
its offerings through alternative lines of power generation, by
calling upon the experience and technologies already available
in the Group.

CMI Defence
The authority on weapon systems
integrated on highly mobile armoured
vehicles
CMI Defence is the undisputed technological leader in
multifunctional, high-power weapon systems for light
and medium weight armoured vehicles. Independent
from any and all vehicle manufacturer, CMI Defence is
known for the technical and operational excellence of its
equipment, but also for its capacity to provide integrated
solutions that make it a reliable partner of modern armed
forces.
CMI Defence relies on its cutting edge expertise in
software, ballistics and mechatronic engineering to
design and integrate gun-turret systems for the entire
20 mm to 120 mm calibre range. Embodying the
essence of the Cockerill brand – great fire power for a
light weight system – this equipment packs performance
superior to that of equivalent systems on the market
while ensuring the mobility and protection of the crews.
The electronic architecture of the systems gives them
unrivalled modularity so that customers can upgrade
them easily, rapidly and at moderate cost.
CMI Defence also provides its customers with technical
and tactical assistance to optimise their integrated
logistics, plus advice and support throughout the lifecycle of their equipment: training, maintenance, onsite and remote technical assistance, modernization,
documentation, spare parts, tools, etc. The missiles and
the PC-Based or embedded simulation systems are
two recent examples of the capacity of CMI Defence to
develop specific products in order to improve equipment
use and operational efficiency.
Always at the cutting edge of innovation, offering
constantly greater value, CMI Defence anticipates the
growing versatility requirement to help improve the
operational response, flexibility and efficiency of modern
highly mobile armed forces.
The 2012 round
Driven by a capacity to innovate that is part
of its DNA, CMI Defence experienced a
particularly intense year in 2012 on every
front.
Supplementing the
offering in the
20-120 mm range
On the technological front, CMI Defence
doubled its offering by supplementing its
range with medium calibre systems.
Supported by an increasingly more modular
design, the developments
made to one calibre can
be applied more and
more rapidly to other
calibres within the range.
Following the simulator in 2011, CMI Defence is
continuing to expand its technology portfolio with
the development of Cockerill medium calibre
turrets. Capitalising on previous developments,
the engineers of CMI Defence designed and
assembled a qualification
demonstrator in less than
12 months. The Cockerill
Medium Calibre is today
certified by the Dutch
organization TNO at the preindustrialization stage (TRL7,
which corresponds to the
demonstration of the prototype system in an
operational environment), and is thus ready to
be marketed.
Innovation
as DNA
On the operational
front, CMI Defence pursued five programs
concurrently, two of which were finalised
during the course of the year.
On the commercial front, the activity
was driven by a noted presence at the
Eurosatory 2012 fair, the world defense
meeting place. CMI Defence unveiled,
by way of world premier a simulator
embedded in a turret. The year was
brought to a close on the commercial
front with an extension of the contract for
additional simulators which reflects only
partially the promising potential of the new
CMI Defence portfolio.
Finally, internally, CMI Defence continued its
evolution to bring its talents, organization and
infrastructure in line with its new ambitions.
New success for the
simulator
In December 2012, some 15 months after it
had landed an initial contract, CMI Defence
was entrusted with an order extension for six
additional Cockerill LCTS 90MP turret simulation
systems. Placed on turrets or used as external
stations, these simulators can virtually reproduce
theatres of military operations and have crews
operate in a flexible, controllable space-time
framework, analysable ad infinitum. It is an
efficient, cost-effective training tool for preparing
troops. CMI Defence unveiled this embedded
simulation system by way of world premier at
the Eurosatory defense fair in Paris (France) in
June 2012.
At Eurosatory 2012, CMI Defence also launched
its remote-operated medium calibre station, the
Cockerill CPWS adjustable to 20-25-30 mm
calibre. This unmanned system provides
maximum protection for the vehicle crew – a
major concern for modern armed forces.
simultaneously. Two of these were finished
on schedule during the course of the year. In
October 2012, the Belgian Army accepted the
last turrets from CMI Defence, thereby bringing
its Armoured Infantry Vehicle (AIV) program to
a close. It may be recalled that this program
entailed the delivery of 18 Cockerill LCTS 90MP
systems along with the assembly of 117 Piranha
armoured vehicles in the Aubange (Belgium)
production unit. In December 2012, the last 22
Cockerill CSE 90LP systems ordered in 2010
under a program for the Indonesian army were
also delivered on schedule.
Additionally, the last kits of the program to
modernise 144 Cockerill LCTS 90MP systems
initiated in 2010 were delivered and are being
assembled on-site by local CMI teams.
Finally, the progress on the program initiated in
2011 for the supply of 84 new Cockerill LCTS
90MP systems is on target, as is the completion
of the first order for Cockerill LCTS 90MP turret
simulation systems, likewise initiated in 2011.
At the end of the year, CMI Defence also
launched the development of a 120 mm calibre
system based on a combination of existing and
acquired technologies.
Missile: from the Falarick®
105 to the Falarick® 90
The Cockerill CT-CV® 105HP system can be
used as a missile launcher since 2010. It was at
Eurosatory 2010, in fact, that CMI Defence had
unveiled the Falarick® 105, an anti-tank guided
missile developed to significantly boost the fire
power of its 105 mm system.
Backed in this approach by the armed forces,
CMI Defence organized test campaigns in 2012
for a Falarick® 90 missile launched from its
Cockerill LCTS 90MP system. Like its 105 mm
counterpart, the Falarick® 90 offers users of
medium pressure Cockerill 90 mm turrets a
considerable advantage, as they can now reach
a distant target while remaining out of range,
without being identified as the missile launchers.
Five programs
simultaneously
The year 2012 was particularly active on the
operational front with five contracts carried out
▶ The embedded simulator of CMI Defence was unveiled at Eurosatory 2012 as a world premier.
www.cmigroupe.com
27
▶ Unveiled at Eurosatory 2012, the protected, remotely operated Cockerill
CPWS station (20-25-30 mm) provides better protection for the
vehicle crew. Developed in record time, the Cockerill Medium Calibre
turret range is extensively adaptable: it can incorporate several guns,
secondary armaments, sighting and protection systems… irrespective
of the manufacturer of the vehicle and the subsystem.
The ability to carry out these five programs simultaneously
attests to the makeover of CMI Defence, which has
succeeded in bringing its organization and infrastructure
into line with its new ambitions, engendered by the
extension of its portfolio.
Increasingly more
international
The extension of CMI Defence portfolio goes hand in
hand with an increasingly more international base.
CMI Defence is bolstering its
modular design approach to
facilitate transfers of technologies
to other geographical areas. This
enables it to handle an increasing
activity level and to assume the
execution of several programs
concurrently, thanks to access to
several production sites. Already
present in Belgium and in France,
CMI Defence can also offer even
more efficient local manufacturing possibilities, particularly
appreciated by its customers for the economic benefits
this brings.
Sustainable talent
management
Following six successive years of growth, the CMI Defence
labour force continued to increase in 2012, by nearly
20%. This phenomenon is the logical consequence of an
increase in activity, whether technological, commercial
or operational. As rapid as it is sizeable, this growth is
obviously a strength, but also a real challenge for the
organization. CMI Defence has approached this challenge
as an opportunity to make its processes and operating
methods even more professional.
Extension of
the product
portfolio
“OPALE“, this program aims to map key resources,
network expertise and proceed to a structured sharing of
operating experience. Redeployed in this way, the teams
can place their talents at the full disposal of the current and
future activity of CMI Defence.
In the short term, CMI Defence
has endeavoured to integrate
new staff, so that everyone can
be fully operational within a
particularly short period of time.
Looking to the longer term,
CMI Defence embarked on a
complete internal reorganization.
The roles and responsibilities of
each department were honed and redefined and the
interfaces clarified. At the same time, CMI Defence
launched a vast knowledge management project. Named

for the future of CMI Industry which remains
attentive to its markets.
Extending the steel
processing lines offering
In high end applications for flat carbon steel,
the galvanizing lines of CMI Industry have long
shown their technological capabilities. To meet
the demands of the market, CMI Industry has
also developed aluminium coated steel sheet
processes that are increasingly appreciated in
the automobile industry. In 2012, CMI Industry
sold two lines of this type in Italy and China.
Furthermore, CMI Industry
designed a latest generation
continuous annealing line
for China, which is currently
being installed.
In France, the teams of
CMI Industry successfully
completed the upgrade of
a stainless steel annealing/pickling line, including
the supply of a new furnace and a new pickling
section.
Supplier of know-how
for China
Having supplied the Chinese steel industry for ten
years with the installation of new capacities, CMI
Industry has adapted to what has now become
a stable market and to the objectives of the 12th
Chinese five-year plan. This plan encourages
Chinese industries to produce better rather than
more. Faced with this development, CMI Industry
emphasized its expertise and know-how transfer
services. In particular, it concluded a service
contract with the steelmaker Shougang in 2012
to optimize the use of certain production facilities.
Furthermore, CMI Industry widened its
partnership network by creating a joint venture
with WISET, the engineering subsidiary of the
steelmaking giant WISCO. Named Wuhan
Cockerill Engineering and Technology Co.Ltd.,
this joint venture is installed in Wuhan. It will
advise and support WISCO in particular in its
plans to boost its production capacities and
to improve its existing facilities. CMI now has
four capital interests in China, which represent
partnerships with leading players in Chinese
industrial engineering.
Production capacity
doubled in India
CMI Industry engaged
in intense commercial
and operational activities
in India in 2012. On the
commercial front, order
bookings for CMI FPE, the
Group’s Indian subsidiary,
remained at a sustained
level. The customer portfolio is expanding far
beyond the Indian subcontinent, particularly in
Africa, Vietnam and even in Turkey, where CMI
FPE concluded a contract with Tezcan Galvaniz
AS in 2012 for the supply of a 6-Hi reversing
cold rolling mill.
Transfer of
know-how
Advances in continuous
rolling
Already the world leader in reversing rolling
mills with its Indian subsidiary CMI FPE, CMI
Industry continues its mastery of continuous
rolling. In 2012, CMI took a new decisive step
rolling mills, thereby doubling its initial capacity.
This investment is accompanied by an in-depth
reorganization of the manufacturing flows and
project management processes, the full impact
of which will be appreciated in 2013. CMI
Industry also laid the first stone of a new plant
in Hedavali.
Out to conquer stainless
and electrical steel
CMI Industry signed a cooperation agreement
with Siemens VAI during the year to jointly
conquer the stainless and electrical steel
markets. The two companies draw on this
partnership to offer a combination of the best
mechanical and rolling technology as well as
chemical and thermal technologies. Together,
they provide first-rate solutions that are more
profitable and more energy efficient.
Toward greener
industries
In 2012, CMI Industry confirmed its technological
expertise in energy efficiency solutions,
particularly through several furnace upgrade
projects for the Vallourec Group. These operations
led to improvements in energy consumption
exceeding 30%. Similarly, the installation of a
heat recovery system from smoke on the furnace
of a continuous annealing line at Tata Steel Port
Talbot (UK) will constitute a new step toward
its energy independence with an excellent
return on investment. Finally, the application of
mathematical models on several processing
lines in Europe and the United States, have made
it possible to reduce their energy consumption
while improving productivity and product quality.
In 2012, CMI Industry also added to its range
with the development of solutions for industrial
effluent treatment and for fluid recycling.
On the operational front, CMI FPE inaugurated
in May the extension of its Taloja (Maharashtra)
facility. In its new configuration, the workshop
can simultaneously take charge of the assembly
of ten cold rolling mills or two five-stand tandem

while ensuring the overall management of the project.
In 2012, CMI Industry capitalised
on the potential of its chemical
treatment solutions beyond its
traditional markets. Following
the calcination of molybdenum
and the extraction of nickel and
magnesium oxide, it developed
solutions for the separation and
purification of rare earths, and
for the recovery of acid used to
extract alumina and titanium oxide.
These developments in extractive
metallurgy were rewarded with an
initial order for an acid regeneration unit in Canada.

these plants was successfully commissioned in 2012.
New horizons for heat
treatment furnaces
CMI Industry took advantage of 2012 to get the maximum
out of its industrial thermal systems and to embark on new
outlets. With a range of technologies reinforced in particular
by powerful digital simulation and modelling resources,
in 2012 CMI Industry sold heat treatment furnaces to
major customers in the aeronautics, automobile, tubes
and energy sectors. Well-known names such as Safran,
Farinia, Eramet and Veridiam opted for the excellence of
energy solutions from CMI Industry.

Outlook
CMI Industry will pursue a dual approach in 2013.
It will strengthen its technological base among
steelmakers throughout the world by relying on
its expertise and capacity for innovation. It will
also continue to develop an offer of state-of-theart solutions to manage the production facilities
of an increasingly diversified set of industries.
The year 2013 will also witness an internal
reorganization assuring optimal efficiency for
these two activities in accordance with their
respective markets. The aim in both cases will
be to complete the integration of technologies
currently in the portfolio to further improve the
innovative nature of CMI solutions and equipment.
The approach is naturally dictated by an
unrelenting quest for synergies by systematically

The 2012 round
Although the global economic context
was rather sluggish, CMI Services
managed to record some notable
successes thanks to the quality of
its agency network and the diversity
of its services. The success of its
diversification approach is reflected
in the fact that the steel industry, its
historical client, accounted for only
one third of its turnover in 2012, while
new segments such as services for the
nuclear industry, petrochemicals, mines
and wind energy increasingly grew in
importance.
In Brazil in particular, CMI Services
expanded its customer portfolio
substantially toward oil and gas, mines,
power generators and engineering firms

It is thus through its expertise in energy that
CMI Services is embarking on the conquest of
industrialists in the Paris region.
Finally, CMI Services was invited by EDF to join
the select club of partners involved in its “Grand
Carénage“ program devoted to the modernization
and safety of French nuclear power stations.
Setting course for Africa
Brazil is booming
CMI Services established itself in Brazil in 2003
to carry out a global maintenance contract. This
seven year contract involved the steelmaking
complex of Vega do Sul. CMI Services has since
then developed rapidly in the country. Today it
has branches in the principal states of the South
and South East: Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais,
Espírito Santo and Rio de Janeiro.
The growth of CMI Services also involves
expanding into new territories. In 2012, CMI
Services set up a prospecting team in charge
of looking into business opportunities in Africa,
where it can call upon long-standing references.
Initial contacts have been made, particularly in
the Ivory Coast and the Democratic Republic
of Congo, along with Congo Brazzaville. These
may lead to recurrent activities in these
countries in 2013.
In 2012, CMI Services also developed business
relations with renowned industrialists such as
the Ferrous mining group, with which it signed
a contract for the global
maintenance of the Viga
mine, and the energy
company Tractebel
Energia Brasil. It also
won important orders
from the steelmakers
ArcelorMittal, Gerdau
and Usiminas.

In parallel, CMI Services laid the
foundations for development in new
regions, particularly in Africa.
New status in the
nuclear sector
Having entered the French nuclear market in
2008, CMI Services is today one of the reference
suppliers of Electricité de France (EDF). In
November 2012, CMI thus earned the highest
assessment score for an eight-week operation to
overhaul the primary and secondary circuits (259
taps and valves) of one section of the nuclear
power station at Paluel (France).
In 2012, going beyond its usual services for
fittings, opening and closing of reactor vessels,
and the fire circuits, CMI Services also placed
its engineering capacities at the service of EDF
by developing innovative storage containers for
activated nuclear components and waste to
be replaced as part of the effort to extend the
Driven forward by a
diversified and promising business context in
the steelmaking, mining, energy and oil & gas
sectors, CMI Services increased its turnover
in Brazil by 30% compared to 2011, with a
workforce of almost 500 persons as at
December 31.
Densification of the
French network
CMI Services capitalised on 2012 to boost its
presence in France even further. Already present
in the East, the South and the North of France, it
signed a maintenance contract in Ancizes, in the
center of the country, with the special steel and
alloy producer Aubert & Duval (Eramet Group). This
is a five year progress contract concluded with
a new customer. Using this contract as a base,
CMI Services intends to establish a permanent
presence in this region to provide services to local
industrial concerns.
CMI Services also opened a branch in the
Paris region in 2012 to meet the needs of “La

▶ CMI Services is capitalizing on its 12-year contract with REpower
Systems at the Thornton Bank (North Sea) to develop unique expertise
in the maintenance of offshore wind farms.
It is noteworthy that it was from the Ivory Coast that CMI
Services assumed the task of rapidly and economically
renovating shunting locomotives.
Rejuvenation for Cockerill
Diesel engines
Increase of flow rate in
hydraulic power plants
In 2012, CMI Services continued to organize its offering of
services to hydraulic power plants. Following some initial
experiences in 2011, it acquired its first certifications
(for the maintenance of turbines
and the renovation of valves) and
landed nine maintenance and
renovation contracts from EDF
Hydraulique during the course
of the year. This development of
services for EDF Hydraulique is in
line with the ongoing acquisition
of experience in this field by
CMI Services in Belgium.
Africa, for
tomorrow’s
success
CMI Services is the exclusive
world supplier of genuine
spare parts for Cockerill
Diesel engines. CMI Services
takes further advantage of this
exclusivity every year, given
the many Cockerill engines
in operation throughout
the world. In 2012, CMI Services thus concluded
numerous contracts for the supply of spare parts
and the renovation of Cockerill engines. A particularly
important contract is that signed with Sonelgaz, the
Algerian energy operator.
Wind in the blades
In 2011, CMI Services signed a 12-year contract for the
electromechanical maintenance of 54 wind turbines at the
Thornton Bank offshore wind farm (North Sea). The first full
year of operation of this contract proved most instructive
and satisfactory. The year also saw a number of other
occasional contracts from REpower Systems. The CMI
Services teams also capitalised on 2012 to develop this
initial meaningful reference among other (future) operators
of offshore wind farms, with an expectation of similar new
contracts in the long term.
CMI Services will build on its initial success to continue its
forward path in 2013, gearing its development particularly
toward further certifications at EDF Hydraulique.

activities: these three themes summarise the
strategy that CMI Services intends to pursue in
2013.
The geographical expansion will be mainly
geared to New Caledonia and to Africa where
CMI Services has identified outlets for growth
in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo
Brazzaville, Ivory Coast and Morocco. CMI
Services naturally intends to bolster its positions
further in Brazil where opportunities are
increasing.
The diversification of client industries will be
pursued on two fronts. First, an effort will be made
to consolidate the market shares acquired in the
first sectors into which CMI Services diversified
its activities, namely energy, the nuclear industry,
wind energy, and petrochemicals; and secondly,
CMI Services intends to develop market shares in
fields approached more recently such as mines,
