ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Kuhlman Corporation (the "Registrant" or "Company"), a Delaware corporation whose predecessor was founded in 1894, owns and manages a group of operating companies. These companies are Kuhlman Electric Corporation, Coleman Holding Company (whose principal direct subsidiary is Coleman Cable Systems, Inc.), and Emtec Products Corporation, and each is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kuhlman Corporation. The Company's businesses operate in two principal segments, electrical transformers and wire and cable, with the remaining operations combined into a single segment referred to as other. In the electrical transformer segment, the Company designs, manufactures and markets electrical utility and industrial type transformers for various markets and industries involved in electrical distribution systems. In the wire and cable segment, the Company manufactures and distributes a wide variety of electrical and electronic wire and cable products to a number of markets for commercial, industrial and consumer uses. The Company also manufactures and distributes a variety of springs and metal parts used by other manufacturers in their products or production process. The executive office of the Company is located at 1 Skidaway Village Walk, Suite 201, Savannah, Georgia 31411. The telephone number is (912) 598-7809.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On February 25, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to merge Schwitzer, Inc. ("Schwitzer"), a New York Stock Exchange listed company, with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In the transaction, shares of Schwitzer common stock will be converted into shares of the Company common stock using an exchange ratio of 0.9615 share of the Company for each share of Schwitzer.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Company is organized into three business segments: electrical transformers, wire and cable, and other. The following discussion addresses the organization, products and markets of the Company's three business segments. For financial information relating to the business segments, see Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 26 of the Registrant's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1994 which is incorporated herein by reference.
ELECTRICAL TRANSFORMERS
Kuhlman Electric Corporation ("Kuhlman Electric") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Associated Engineering Company, manufacture and market electrical utility and industrial-type transformers used in electrical distribution systems serving residences and commercial
and industrial buildings. These transformers range from small instrument transformers used in the metering and switching of electricity and pole-mounted, surface-mounted, or underground transformers serving from one to eight residences, up to medium-size power transformers which are used in utility substations or commercial-type electrical power centers serving shopping centers, apartment complexes, factories and other users of electric power.
The principal market for Kuhlman Electric's transformer products is electric utility companies throughout the United States.
The large majority of all distribution and power transformers manufactured by Kuhlman Electric in 1994 were marketed directly, mostly through ten employee sales engineers. The balance of such distribution and power transformers were sold through sixteen independent commissioned sales organizations, which employ approximately 50 salesmen and sales engineers. In addition, instrument transformers are sold through nine of the above employee sales engineers as well as through eleven additional independent commissioned sales organizations which employ approximately 46 salesmen and sales engineers.
Kuhlman Electric Corporation, located in Versailles, Kentucky, is the headquarters for the Electrical Transformer Segment. Kuhlman Electric is managed by a president who is responsible for its operating activities including all purchasing, manufacturing, marketing, accounting, personnel and administrative functions.
WIRE AND CABLE
Coleman Holding Company was acquired by the Company on December 15, 1993. Coleman Holding Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, including its principal direct subsidiary, Coleman Cable Systems, Inc., ("Coleman") manufactures and distributes a wide range of products, including bare copper and aluminum wire for utilities; portable wiring systems for the construction industry and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") applications; wire for security, heating, ventilating and air conditioning ("HVAC"), irrigation and sound systems; and extension cords, trouble lights, booster cables and other products for consumer, commercial and industrial markets. Coleman's products are sold directly through twelve employee salespersons and a number of manufacturers' representatives employing over 700 salespersons to electrical and security distributors, utilities, mass merchandisers, and various industrial and OEM users on a nationwide basis. Coleman is organized into five business units which have been set up primarily along basic product or distribution lines. Each business unit is managed by a president who is responsible for its sales and marketing functions. Executive and administrative functions, including general accounting and personnel for Coleman are conducted at Coleman's principal office located in North Chicago, Illinois. Each business unit president reports to Coleman's president who is responsible for all operating activities including purchasing, manufacturing, general accounting and management information systems.
The following is a summary of the five business units that constitute Coleman:
CABLE AND WIRE DIVISION. Coleman's Cable and Wire Division provides a line of flexible cords, power cables, control cables, robotics cables, diesel locomotive cables and specialty cables used in the distribution of portable power for construction, industrial and OEM applications. Coleman markets its products under various trade names, including SEOPRENE[REGISTERED TRADEMARK], POLAR SOLAR (stylized)[REGISTERED TRADEMARK], COLFLEX[REGISTERED TRADEMARK], and POLAR-RIG 125[REGISTERED TRADEMARK]. Coleman differentiates its product offering by employing advanced compounding technologies which give its cables flexibility and integrity at temperatures ranging generally from approximately minus 50 degrees C to approximately plus 105 degrees C while weighing approximately 1/3 less than ordinary portable cable, on the average. Coleman is a leader in the use of thermoplastic elastomer ("TPE") compounds in the wire and cable industry and has developed a proprietary insulation and jacketing material called T*PRENE[REGISTERED TRADEMARK]. T*PRENE[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] is a water-resistant insulation and jacketing material that repels oil, grease, acids and solvents, and offers resistance to abrasion, ozone and other environmental hazards. Coleman's cable and wire products are sold to electrical distributors, wire and cable distributors, OEM's and government agencies through its employee sales force and independent representatives.
CORD PRODUCTS DIVISION. Coleman's Cord Products Division manufactures and distributes a line of cord sets, trouble lights, cube taps, battery booster cables, power supply cords, temporary outdoor lighting and ground fault interrupters for consumer, contractor and OEM applications. Its products are used for both home and industrial electrical needs and are sold through mass merchandisers, hardware wholesalers, automotive retailers, warehouse clubs, home centers, hardware chains, contractor/industrial supply houses and electrical distributors. Coleman's brand names include COILEX[REGISTERED TRADEMARK] and COILITE[REGISTERED TRADEMARK]coiled cord products, QUADNECTOR[REGISTERED TRADEMARK]extension cords, BOOSTER IN A BAG[REGISTERED TRADEMARK]booster cables, READY/CLAD[REGISTERED TRADEMARK]conduit-on-a-reel, and TROUBLE FREE[TRADEMARK] trouble lights. Also, Coleman's Cord Products Division is one of the leading providers of extension cords to the contractor supply market.
SIGNAL DIVISION. Coleman's Signal Division is a leading manufacturer and supplier of electronic wire and cable, shielded and unshielded low voltage control cables, fire alarm cables, plenum cables, closed circuit television wire and cables, and speaker cable for a multitude of applications used by burglar alarm, fire alarm and sound system installers, electrical contractors, energy management specialists and OEM's. Signal's primary market is the security industry where it is one of the largest manufacturers of security cables in the U.S. Signal Cable is a preferred brand by many end user installers and is a market leader in providing wire and cable to security distributors which supply over 60% of the total security wire used in the U.S. Signal's products are sold to security and equipment distributors, sound contractors, wire and cable distributors, electronic parts distributors, electrical distributors and OEM's through its employee sales force and to a lesser extent independent sales representatives.
BARON WIRE & CABLE CORP. Baron Wire & Cable Corp., founded in 1967, is a leading producer of cables for energy management, irrigation and sprinkler systems. Baron's products
include thermostat cables, irrigation control cables, underground feeder cables, submersible pump cables, instrumentation cables and machine tool wire. These products are used in a variety of applications by HVAC installers, energy management installers, golf course sprinkler installers, irrigation system installers, OEM's, machine tool manufacturers and electrical contractors. In addition, Baron is one of the largest producers of thermostat cable in the U.S. Some of Baron's cables are sold under BAROSTAT-TM-and BAROPLEN-TM brand names. Also, Baron's products are sold to the irrigation control business with products such as BAROGATION-TM-control cables which are used in commercial, residential, and golf course projects throughout the U.S. and Canada. Baron has recently developed thermocouple extension cables for thermocouples capable of monitoring temperatures from approximately minus 300 degrees F to approximately plus 2300 degrees F in a variety of industrial applications. Baron's products are sold by its employee sales force and independent sales representatives to HVAC distributors, water equipment wholesalers, electrical distributors, wire and cable distributors and OEM's.
NEHRING ELECTRICAL WORKS COMPANY. Nehring Electrical Works Company, founded in 1912, manufactures copper and aluminum wire for grounding, transmission, and distribution of power. Nehring, which was acquired in 1980, is a leading supplier of bare copper to the electrical utility industry and an approved supplier to almost every utility, municipality and REA in the United States. Nehring also manufactures and distributes aluminum building wire ground rods, accessories, and 600 volt underground cable for various end users. Nehring sells its products through key channels of distribution which consist primarily of utility, electrical distribution, telecommunication, and welding distribution, using an employee sales organization and separate representative agencies specializing in each such market channel.
OTHER
The Company also manufactures and markets a variety of coiled and flat springs, spring assemblies and stampings through its wholly owned subsidiary, Emtec Products Corporation. During 1993, the Company reorganized its spring products businesses, TRANS-PAK Spring Assembly Division and Empire Spring Division, as well as its marine hardware business, Nautalloy Products Division, to all be divisions of Emtec Products Corporation, formerly known as Emtec Inc. The businesses of Emtec Products Corporation report to a president who has responsibility for all operating activities, including sales and marketing, manufacturing and all administrative functions. The products include various types of coiled springs, formed flat springs and stampings used in automobiles, business machines and appliances, spring sub-assemblies used in automobile transmissions and brake systems and a spring sub-assembly used in cellular phones. Most of these products are custom-designed to customer's requirements. The principal market for the Company's springs, spring assembly products and stampings is the automotive industry. These products are sold through three employee salesmen and ten independent commissioned sales organizations. The market area is predominately the midwest United States, although many of these products are utilized nationally and in Canada.
COMPETITION
The Company experiences substantial competition in each of its business segments. The Company has numerous competitors, some of which have substantially greater financial and technical resources than the Company and include some of the largest business enterprises operating in the United States. The Company believes that it competes primarily on the basis of product quality, product innovation, service and price.
CUSTOMERS; SEASONALITY
The Company had no single customer that accounted for more than 10% of the Company's net sales in 1994. The Company's net sales are not seasonal to any significant extent; however, net sales are generally related to economic activity.
RAW MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES
The principal raw materials required by the electrical transformer segment are steel, copper and various insulating materials. In the wire and cable segment the principal materials used are copper, aluminum and various polymer compounds used for insulation. Copper, which is the Company's single largest raw material, is generally purchased in either extruded or rod form from a number of major domestic producers. Pricing is typically based upon announced prices of the New York Commodity Exchange, Inc. ("COMEX") for high grade copper, plus a negotiated premium.
Raw materials purchased by the Company are generally available from numerous independent sources at competitive prices, and are obtained principally from domestic suppliers. Management anticipates no significant difficulty in filling its raw material requirements. However, it is possible, that because of the Company's increasing focus on "lean manufacturing" which incorporates "just-in- time" supplier-customer delivery methods, and which in turn could result in a reduction in the number of suppliers utilized by Kuhlman, the risk of difficulties in obtaining raw materials may increase from time to time.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND LICENSES
The Company owns and/or licenses a number of patents and patent applications, and registered and unregistered trademarks which are valuable to its business. Such patents, licenses and trademarks are not considered material to the business of the Company as a whole.
BACKLOG
Certain Kuhlman operations receive blanket purchase orders from customers, including those in the electrical utility and automotive industries, that will generally cover their annual requirements. Customers then provide the Company with releases against such blanket orders
based on their requirements, thereby establishing a firm order date. An order is included as part of the Company's backlog once a firm order date has been received from the customer. The Company does not include in its backlog orders which do not have a firm delivery date or are expected to be shipped generally within one week of the order date.
The following table sets forth backlog orders which the Company believes to be firm as of the dates indicated: At December 31 -------------- 1994 1993 ---- ---- (in thousands)
Electrical Transformers $20,155 $29,245 Wire and Cable 6,996 8,337 Other 1,624 1,051 ------- ------- $28,775 $38,633 ------- ------- ------- -------
At December 31, 1994, substantially all of the Company's backlog orders were expected to be completed by December 31, 1995, although orders generally may be cancelled by customers without penalty.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Kuhlman Corporation is continually seeking to improve existing products and applying and developing technologies for new products. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Such costs charged to expense were $249,000, $741,000, and $1,152,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992 respectively.
ENVIRONMENTAL
To the best of the Company's knowledge, it is in substantial compliance with all federal, state and local environmental protection provisions, and believes these provisions should not materially affect capital expenditures, earnings or the Company's competitive position.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company employed 1,235 and 1,290 persons, respectively, approximately 864 of whom are currently subject to collective bargaining agreements. The Company considers relations with its employees to be satisfactory.
