Metal Component Engineering Limited provided group earnings guidance for the half year ended June 30, 2017. The group expects to report a net loss after tax for half year of 2017. It was primarily due to one-time costs incurred pursuant to the closure of two of its operations in China, namely a nickel plating line in Suzhou and a manufacturing plant in Qing Pu, Shanghai, as part of the Group's consolidation and cost saving efforts to better manage its resources.
