Frankfurt am Main, 21 December 2011. Joyou AG intends to set up a new
production plant for showerheads. The investment will help Joyou to develop
its business in the mid to high-end plastic resin products market. The
total investment amounts to approx EUR 44 million (RMB 400 million) and an
additional EUR 8 million (RMB 70 million) for working capital. The project
will be financed partly though the IPO proceeds and debt.

The plant will be built up to achieve a preliminary capacity of 7 million
units per year will be located at Shuitou Huayuan Galvanization Industrial
Park, Shuitou Town, Nan'an City in the Fujian Province.

Major products of the new plant will be plastic showerheads, brackets,
toilet seats, and other accessories and will mainly be sold in the domestic
market under the Joyou brand name.

The facility will be using the newest plastic resin technology. This
facility and the technology will replace currently out-sourced products and
lead to greater sales margins, design flexibility, quality control and
enhance the company's position as a supplier of complete bathroom
solutions. In the context of the existing cooperation, Grohe intends to
transfer some of its know-how in plastic resin production to Joyou and
support the company in setting up the new facility.
