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

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.

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.
