Automotive Products Group excluding currency effects and the acquisition impact of AML and Halla Stackpole, increased US$23m or 4%, compared to the same period last year.
“Our Automotive Products Group continued to deliver solid organic growth despite a quite noticeable slowdown in overall market demand in North America and China compared to the same period a year earlier,” said Johnson Electric chairman and chief executive, Patrick Shui-Chung Wang.
“The operating environment remains rather mixed with the highly unpredictable global political landscape being perhaps the most significant risk to the global economy at the present time.
“Notwithstanding these uncertainties, the Group is off to a good start in the current financial year with market share gains and significant new business awards across several key automotive and industry applications.”
