* EUR1.5 million (m) initial order for jacking pipes in Romania *
EUR1.0m order for power masts in Hungary * Positive outlook thanks to
order backlog of EUR41m as at 28 February 2009

SW Umwelttechnik - a Vienna listed family firm with its core markets
in Central and Southeastern Europe (CSE) - has recorded a further
increase in order books. The environmental technology group's Water
Conservation business sector has won further major contracts in its
core Austrian, Hungarian and Romanian markets. And despite weak
construction activity in Hungary, the Infrastructure sector has
booked project orders. Meanwhile SW Umwelttechnik has again
increased its share of the Romanian market in recent months.

The need to meet EU environmental standards is leading to rapid
upgrading of Romania's water supply and wastewater disposal
infrastructure. SW Umwelttechnik has won a EUR1.5m order to supply 3
km of jacking pipes and about 1,000 manholes for a sewerage project
in Baneasa, a suburb of Bucharest. Work is due to begin at once and
is expected to be completed towards the end of 2010.

The Infrastructure sector has booked a EUR0.8m order related to
modernisation of the railway network. SW Umwelttechnik will supply a
drainage system for the Campina-Predeal section of the
Bucharest-Brasov line. And despite the harsh economic backdrop in
Hungary the Infrastructure sector is also executing two new projects
there. SW Umwelttechnik has won an EUR1m order from E.ON to supply
electricity masts for a project due for completion in May 2010. And
the industrial and commercial building segment of the market came to
life with a EUR0.3m order for a shopping centre and multi-storey
car park in Debrecen.

At the end of February order backlog was a satisfactory EUR41m
compared with EUR45 a year earlier. Romania was already the largest
market, accounting for 45% of the total, followed by Hungary (33%)
and Austria (unchanged at 10%). Due to growing municipal
investment in infrastructure, which is also set for a boost from
planned stimulus packages, SW Umwelttechnik is looking for a
stable financial performance this year.

Founded in 1910, SW Umwelttechnik remains a family business, though
it has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1997. The
group is known for its commitment to sustainable enterprise
and rapid expansion in Central and Southeastern Europe (CSE).
Its innovative environmental engineering products are
contributing to infrastructure renewal in CSE.
