Gleisdorf (euro adhoc) - Gleisdorf, April 1, 2009. The Styrian

received three major contracts in the Environmental Technology
Segment, which represent a notable success in the face of the current
crisis. These orders mean that the order backlog of EUR 32.99 million
carried over into the current business year has now been increased by
a further EUR 8.0 million.

largest environmental technology orders in company history The newly
founded Nampak Wiegand Glass company (a joint venture between the
listed South African company, Nampak Ltd., and the German enterprise
Wiegand Glas) has commissioned Binder+Co with the construction of a
complete used glass processing facility at its glassworks in

three melting ends and three production lines. The ordered sorting
plant is to initially handle 24 tons of glass per hour and when fully
completed, 36 tons per hour.

that the Styrian company now covers the entire glass recycling market
in southern Africa.

technology order from a brewery With its newly founded subsidiary,
Ripple Glass, the Boulvard Brewing Co. brewery is now to enter the
glass recycling field. The aim is employ used glass for the

components and assists the brewery with its know-how and experience.
Plant start-up is planned for the end of 2009 and the sorting system
will handle 5 tons of glass per hour.
