Does anybody know why this stock has shot up to new highs - new issue in April 2003

Looks like a bit of profit taking the last few days, time to top up me thinks!

Is it this week the big contract is being awarded?

Although Aerobox is speculative, I think it has good potential, possibly why the share price is rising.

look at the big trades today - MM playing games - keeping offer price high and lowering bid lot more on any selling

ttt

2.8m shares traded on Friday - definitely something going on - Daily Mail speculating on an order from a leading airline - will rocket on Monday!!!

This share is unproportionately falling relative to the sells!! Good time to top up.

Appointment of David Sebire as Chairman

David Sebire was a non-executive director of JK Smit Limited when it appointed a

Got in to these yesterday and doubled my position today, the more I look into the company the happier everything I read makes me. They have a product that the airlines cant refuse, due to the price and cost savings on repairs to cargo boxes and to the fuel it will save during flights..less wheight etc.

My thoughts then go to other uses of large cargo containers that must get dammaged from time to time and the large shipping containers come to mind. Whilst the air cargo industry will be the first to place orders in the long term how many various cargo boxes will aerobox be making from thier materials.

Short term nice sharp upswing once orders start arriving, long term large growth company with a variety of markets to sell to. The companies costs arevery low and they will not replace the airlines cargo boxes in a year or two it will take a long time but once it starts the upside for aerobox is very very large, valued at 22 million at the moment how much will oit be worth. Once they start taking orders the price will start to rise sharply.

DYOR and g.l.a

Agree with you entirely - look at the impact on share price of Surface Transforms with Dunlop contract - they also had an innovative material as with Aerobox - which will definetely rocket once the seller is cleared out and trial results announced.

Finally news of first orders from Aer Lingus and Virgin agreeing to replace its entire stock at Gatwick has prompted the shares to move north.

Tipped by Evil Knievil this evening on t1ps as his new LONG. Well done chaps wish I had got in earlier.

cheers GF.

Innobox (INO.L) is a better bet. It has 4.4 Million shares of ARX with more to come.
The companys are linked. I hold both.

The press are picking up on this and it seems like there are other Airlines looking to take up the product...

The Scotsman :
Aerobox shares soar on first sales


SHARES in airline supplier Aerobox hit a new high following the first commercial sales of its cargo and baggage containers.

The Manchester-based firm’s shares soared 23 per cent to 34.75p after it revealed that Virgin Atlantic was to replace all of its containers at its Gatwick base with Aerobox’s product. Irish carrier Aer Lingus also placed an order for 100 boxes with an option to buy 900 more during 2004.

The deals came after successful three-month trials by both airlines. Aerobox said it hopes to secure further business from airlines such as Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines.

be able to get a new punto next year now with this company lol.

No worries. They'll be snapped up soon. Keeps the Market active anyway

is there a chance that telair could make a bid for aerbox,or buy a large stake

Who knows aldwickk--small cap plc with what looks like a winning product that is anticipated to gain industry acceptance---looks tempting!! (TEIJIN - who also are in this ,I think their European base is in Holland, want to expand in the States though aquisition!)

Seymour Pierce brings out an absolute blinder of a report on ARX, cant bring it too you on this BB, but you can read it on another one!!

MAIL ON SUNDAY
Air freight business Aerobox will tomorrow announce a deal to develop temperature controlled containers that can be targeted at the pharmaceutical industry.
The deal will see American company Kelvin Technologies combine its expertise in cooling systems with Aerobox's lightweight plastic containers.
It is likely to provide a further boost to shares in Aerobox.
These rose sharply last week-up 5.3/4p to 34.1/2p valuing the firm at 29m -after it announced its first commercial sales to Aer Lingus and Virgin Atlantic.

Lets see how high this actually goes ;-))

It's going to 80p - mark my words - I started the BB on this back in Oct when the stock was 22p!! As yet 13 airlines have still to report back. Then there are new applications in other industries for eg. the pharmaceutical temperature controlled containers. This stock has great prospects.

Aerobox plc

Share placing to fund expansion
Strategic Partnership with Kelvin Technologies Inc

AeroBox plc has completed a share placing to raise 2.24 million, before
expenses, through the issue to investors of 7,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at 32p
per share. The net proceeds of the issue will be used to fund working capital
and new product development. This follows the announcement made on 21 January
that the first sales, subject to contract, of the AeroBox LD3 cargo container
had been achieved with Aer Lingus and Virgin Atlantic. The air cargo container
industry is worth around US$200m per annum. The first AeroBox product, the LD3
unit, addresses half of that market.

AeroBox has also entered into a strategic partnership with Kelvin Technologies
Inc to determine the feasibility of producing a refrigerated air cargo container
that actively controls product temperature for use by the pharmaceutical, food
and related industries.

The AeroBox LD3 cargo container is the result of a decade of research and
development into composite structure panels. The strength and thermal resistance
of these panels enables AeroBox to develop custom made packaging systems for a
wide range of applications. Kelvin Technologies is an industry leader in cold
chain product management, widely used throughout the pharmaceutical industry.

In the market for temperature sensitive products, around 7% wastage occurs due
to temperature control difficulties. The World Health Organisation estimates
that 50% of all vaccines are lost in transit due to temperature problems. The
development of a temperature controlled product would therefore represent a
significant new market for AeroBox.

Bob Bushman, Chief Executive of AeroBox, commented:

'We have increased production capacity by investing in new machinery and moving
to new facilities. The partnership with Kelvin Technologies is a timely
additional opportunity to broaden our product portfolio and reach new markets.'

Application will be made for the 7,000,000 new Ordinary Shares issued under the
Placing to be admitted to trading on AIM. Dealings are expected to commence on
30 January 2004.

- ends -

Does this mean existing share holders will be entitled to purchase more shares
at 32p each... When will this be issued to us if so?

Afriad not AdieH, its a done deal already, its a case of them raising cash for expanding the manufacturing base to deal with the extra contracts and the contracts to come etc, classic case of the company needing cash to expand and not a bad thing imo, good things to come still with this one I reckon.

New to site, very excited by arx! this time next year I'm expected it to be well over 1.00

Shameless,

Ineresting, how do you arrive at that figure please?

AeroBox raises 640,000 stg via share placing at 32p/shr


LONDON (AFX) - AeroBox PLC said it has completed an additional share placing to raise 640,000 stg, before expenses, through the issue to investors of 2 mln new shares at 32 pence per share.

The net proceeds will provide the company with additional working capital and funds for new product development, it said.

Done a lot of research into arx their product could save airlines a lot of money as tests have proved. Expecting an RNS about every 10 days regarding the trials with the airlines. Unitpool might be the next firm to agree to take arx's uld's. They could be 60p in the short term.

Trials suggest very low maintenance on the plastic units against the aluminium ones airlines use at present. This makes them v attractive on 2 fronts. 1. obviously lower maintenance costs. 2. 1st world airlines can flog the old containers to 3rd world airlines offsetting the cost. They are also developing a temperature controlled unit.

In already.

A lot of sales going through this a.m. near the float price of 32p. Can anyone suggest what is going on. Are the mm's short of stock - are institutional investors unloading some of their commitments - are we seing short selling?
Long term this idea looks a no brainer, provided it can be made profitably and marketed soundly.

Got a feeling that the mms caused some peoples stop losses to be triggered when they briefly dropped it to 32p or just below, it has recoverd somwhat and a largeish mm buy during the afternoon seems to indicate that buyer is in the shadows.

to allay your concerns re marketing below is the press release that sent them up in october....new chairman has the contacts and a good idea of the market imo. 33-37p mark until the new shares hit the market on monday 2/2/04 when they will most likely dip during the profit take. plane sailing after that imo.

Any new news on Aerbox? I'm still holding this shares cause i know this company wont let me down. Is the share price going to move in long term or medium term? anybody knows?

According to shares magazine the price 36p could double in the next year. I think there is plenty of room for growth in this company.

From www.cargonewsasia.com

In the past two years the airline industry has witnessed new evolution in the ULD sector.

Around the same time that Unitpool introduced ULD management control and ULD pooling services, Aerobox started production of the newest generation of airline container. Now these two pioneering companies have come together through the signing of a marketing agreement aimed at promoting Unitpool services and Aerobox products.

Unitpool’s unique management control and ULD pooling service reduces the operating costs of airlines by using ULD assets more effectively, whilst the Aerobox ULDs overcome many of the problems associated with aluminium ULDs including damage and serviceability.

The Aerobox ULD marketing team are part of the Watermark Group, which since its inception 18 years ago has developed relationships with over 200 airlines, supplying them with over 400 different products and services. Watermark, who are based in the UK, have joined forces with Unitpool based in Switzerland in the signing of an exclusive long-term agreement.

Aerobox ULD’s Commercial Director Russ Colbourne commented “Our cooperation with Unitpool allows us to close the circle in supplying comprehensive solutions for airlines. Now we can offer Airlines an Aerobox ULD to buy outright or we can provide them with Unitpool’s complete ULD outsourcing service.”

Philip Hill, Unitpool CEO added “We are very excited about this collaboration with Watermark and Aerobox, which will greatly enhance awareness to Unitpool globally. Additionally we are very keen to support all moves to bring cost benefits to our customers, and product development to the industry, and see the new Aerobox ULDs as a very positive addition to established products. We are engaged in extensive trials of Aerobox ULDs and are experiencing very positive results”.

Unitpool now provides its ULD management control and pooling services to 20 airlines serving more than 150 stations globally.

Aerobox ULDs are currently in trials with over 15 Airlines and have now flown over 2,000 sectors resulting is zero panel damage from everyday handling.

Also - here is an extract from a post on another BB. Apparently info gained from a conversation with an insider...

"...original 15 airlines had now grown to 26 who were using the LD3s, plus Unitpools 20 client airlines (of which 17 use Unitpool boxes and 3 own their own but they are managed by Unitpool). Of these, there had been no negative feedback at all from any of them and they were now at something like 20000 flight sectors flown with nil damage and nil repair costs"

looks like it is a buy rather than a hold

Great! Thanks for the info hokistar! I'm on the right track then!

looking to add on weakness here.

All indications are for an RNS announcing more contracts

This could a big year for Aerobox. Shares would probably be nearer the 50p mark only for the extra shares issued. Hopefully the next RNS will lead to a 20% rise

looking for more than 50p!!

Until recently the new aerobox products were simply on trial with no guarantee of success. Aer lingus and Virgin have now placed orders hence the product is now a proven item. When airlines like Cathay Pacific decide to order then the present price will look cheap!

I agree tlloyd, fully expect this to be 1.00 at least by the end of the year.

That was the level i am looking for!

I'm very excited by ARX, if they went to a 1.oo they would be valued at just over 86 m. They have a great product with potential to go far higher.

Looking good with a new high.

Could be some action in the morning after fridays volumes in the
afternoon

Still need to get an idea on this shares value...
Oh well one day Ill find out...

has virgin signed they contract with arx yet?

Why has the share price of Aerobox fallen over the past few days despite large number of buys?

thought last week when it broke 41p was the end of the stop block. I have no problem as ARX and unitpol have a good product and world operation. Correct me if I am wrong but the plastic box can mingle with the existing alu ones on aircraft and are leased/rented out to airlines anyway, unitpol will be constantly increasing there number of units due to the maintenance savings and this will show in the results, the big airline deals will keep the share price alive in the meantime. hence the drop as no big RNS to drive the price up.

The stock is a no brainer....or i am.
