+++ elexis: large order for Factory Automation, Steel

+++ Market penetration of quality control systems progresses positively


Wenden, November 11, 2008  The Factory Automation, Steel and Printing
division of elexis AG has acquired a large order in the amount of euro 3.8
million from a Belgian equipment manufacturer. This is the hitherto largest
single order in the 40 year history of the steel sector.

This order consists of a package, which includes both strip guiding systems
as well as SORM 3plus, IMPOCpro and eMASS and the BREIMO strip centre
measurement system. These orders are attributable to projects in China and
Russia. They will be delivered and put into operation in 2009/2010.

The strategy for the development of innovative quality assurance systems
for the increase of production and quality improvement as well as cost
savings has proven to be correct. The many years of experience in the strip
guiding systems sector enable the development of quality assurance systems
with unique characteristics, which fulfil the requirements of the
customers. The possibility of offering well-proven strip guiding systems
and innovative quality assurance systems from one source represents an
additional advantage for the customer.

The avoidance of waste becomes increasingly important specifically at times
of economic difficulty. The requirement for quality assurance systems from
elexis is growing additionally as a result of the efforts to reduce CO² as
well as the development of increasingly lower fuel-consumption vehicles,
for which thin sheet with good quality characteristics is required.
The shares of elexis AG (ISIN: DE 000 508 5005) are listed in the Prime
Standard at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. elexis AG is one of the companies
included in the SDAX.
