I am posting this as I was a bit surprised about the potential NEW facility in North America mentioned in the news of 28th October 2014. 'Planning is also at an advanced stage for a potential new production facility in North America. Details will be announced in the near future. ' I thought the moth balled site in Houston was going to be used. I'm not sure if it is now. Here is my time line of extracts from news mentioning America. More will follow in another post as have run out if characters. 30th November 2013 Preliminary results for the year ended 30 September 2013, extract In the US Our plant in Houston remains intact but will not become operational until demand from North America has reached a sufficient level. To this end, we are engaged in trials with several of the world's largest valve and oil and gas service companies for high volume parts. Lab testing was completed successfully on our first fracking tool application for a major oilfield services company and they intend to begin field trials with results expected early in 2014. These developments, as well as the appointment of a new US-based business manager are designed to bolster demand in North America to the point at which the plant can be re-opened. Sales in North America to new and existing customers rose by 17% to £0.7m (2012: £0.6m). 28th May Interim results - extracts In North America our increased resource and efforts are also having good results. and Looking forward, an increase in UK plant capacity is being planned and detailed discussions and planning are underway regarding a resumption of production in the USA.

Seatronics case study http://www.hardide.com/technical/case-studies/ right..... back to ZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz........... regards RRJ

To say that they were hoping that the agustawestland helicopter second test was hoping to be completed by the end on 2013 then that new surely can't be far off..... can it? regards RRJ News dated 1/7/2013 The second test phase is expected to be completed by the end of 2013 and, if successful, the Hardide coating will be approved for use on a specific AgustaWestland helicopter rotor blade component. The manufacturer is also considering other applications for the Hardide coating technology.

There pushing the SP up today. It'll soon be down on a few sells imo. regards RRJ

I also note that the annual report for 2014 is no longer there http://www.hardide.com/investor-relations/public-documents/ regards RRJ

I believe there is a new case study. These in the past have been mentioned in the news page. Could have missed this new one. (Heap and Partners) http://www.hardide.com/technical/case-studies/ Best regards RRJ

Is that you buying, KUMS? well another 6 months to wait now. Can't say I'm over excited. No real news on the aerospace front. Hmmmmmm... little bit disappointed but there is a little bit of jam tomorrow (or if testing takes as long as we know it does, in 18 months time)in the news. When will companies accept that it does what it says on the tin? regards RRJ

Rns 30 April 2014 I wonder if the German companies have said to Hardide please please test this for us because we think it will save us lots of money OR I wonder if Hardide have gone to the German companies and said we think we can save you money on these particular products. Please let us test them for you. Bit of a difference from my take on things. I wonder which it is? besr regards RRJ

Triumphbiker Nice to hear from you again, it's been a while :-). 26 oct 2012 Is this recent knowledge of tests or back in Oct 2012? Best regards RRJ

Flowserve has worked with the Hardide company to introduce their coating into the McCanna top entry line. We are also testing it in the Worcester line. the above is an extract from the below link. Really it doesn't make for good reading in my view because it shows there are a lot of other coatings out there. Hardide has its limitation. It's not a coating that does all and I guess there will be new coatings at its heals. Just something to think about. Check out the section - What is Tantaline? http://www.bibbcontrols.com/Documents/CVO_Metal_Seated_Valve_Trim_and_Coatings_Application_Guide.pdf best regards RRJ

Lionel I have looked into this a little and td direct investments call it a 'Bed and ISA' They assured me that if I did it myself there would be no spread and just a cost of a trade. Through them over the telephone cost a bit. If you do it online costs roughly 12.50. DYOR Hope this helps. I have to do this yet. I will report when I do. Will be interesting to see if anything shows up on the trades. Best regards RRJ

LionelGreen Are those couple of million trades now showing from yesterday, yours then?:-) Regards RRJ

It's busy today, which is nice

Lionel all I can think re 4m trades is that the mm keep them in their pocket for a rainy day. And I suppose thrre is good sentiment about so they'll be able to get rid of them later. AIMO DYOR just google amati. Makes for interesting reading. regards RRJ

2 x 2m sells yesterday. Possible Amati off loading? will have to wait for a holding RNS if it is. regards RRJ

Are you seeing this through L2?

2156094 shares.... it's possibly the trade shown on the 10th March 2014. it fits. Is this the start of a bit of off loading??? regards RRJ DYOR

Your not kidding team83. The middle of 2008 saw hardide drop from roughly 6p to roughly 2p pretty much just over a couple of days. There were at that time less shares about so perhaps not so relevant to now. What I'm trying to say is that there may not be many people in the range 2.5p to 6p. I don't know if this is going to affect the share price very much. Perhaps someone could post their views. I could just be talking gibberish. Something to think about though. As always DYOR. regards RRJ
