In the year elapsed, SMT Scharf recorded strong demand for spare parts and service in its core markets, as mining customers focused on fleet maintenance and servicing. New investment business, which had declined in the past reporting year, was up again in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same prior year period. The major orders received in the tunnel logistics segment, where activities to expand business outside of coal mining are bearing fruit, also give rise to a positive outlook on the current year.
