HANZA strengthens the Group's cluster concept in China

HANZA coordinates the production plants in China according to the Group's
cluster concept, and strengthens the local management
HANZA Holding AB (publ) has two production plants outside Shanghai, China. In
order to further enhance the support to customers in need of local production in
China, the management of the plants are coordinated in accordance with HANZAs
cluster concept. As new Manager HANZA has recruited Marco Gentili, who has
extensive experience of running business in China.

"It's a very engaging mission to lead HANZAs business in China," said Marco
Gentili, Manager HANZA China, "The possibilities are numerous and there already
exits a good foundation on which the business can be further developed."

HANZAs cluster concept is to coordinate various manufacturing technologies in
geographical areas, which are important to the Group's customers. The cluster
concept has been strengthened in Europe and now actions are made in China.

"Rethinking is needed because of the manufacturing map has changed," said Erik
Stenfors, CEO HANZA. "In China, production decreases for Europe, while
production for the local market increases. We are developing a structure for
manufacturing flow in China, which combined with the Europe manufacturing flow
creates high customer value. "
