order intake

23.09.2009

Despite difficult market conditions SW Umwelttechnik - a
Carinthia-based listed family business - has won major orders
for its Infrastructure and Water Conservation business sectors
worth a total of EUR5.4m.

A slight pick-up in orders for industrial and commercial
construction products is under way following last year's slump in
demand. In August SW Umwelttechnik secured orders worth EUR0.8
million (m) for precast elements for portal frame buildings in
Romania. And in Hungary - where demand has plunged - the company
picked up new and repeat orders valued at EUR1.3m. Meanwhile its
quality products and project management expertise have won it a
follow-up contract for the construction of a shopping centre from
a customer in Scandinavia that placed its first order two years
ago.

Despite these signs of improvement the company is now increasingly
reliant for revenue on its Water Conservation business which caters
to local authorities, rather than its Infrastructure sector which
serves industrial and commercial clients. For example, SW
Umwelttechnik will be delivering bell and spigot, and jacking pipes
worth EUR0.4m for a surface water drainage project in Dunakeszi,
Hungary. Work started in August and completion is scheduled for May
2010. The company has also landed a EUR0.9m order for slip joint,
jacking, and bell and spigot pipes for the Budapest sewerage
system. Construction is scheduled to run from September 2009 until
April 2010.

A EUR0.9m contract to upgrade and expand the drinking water
and wastewater networks in Pitesti, Romania has been signed.
SW Umwelttechnik will be supplying 1.3 km of jacking pipes for this
EU-supported project. Hungarian subsidiary OMS Hungaria has been
awarded the contract for an infrastructure and wastewater project
in the municipality of Újsziulvás, in central Hungary. The
EUR1.1m order is for the engineering design and construction of some
15 km of open drains for the road network and 1.6 km of sewerage
pipes. Work is due for completion by the end of 2009.

SW Umwelttechnik expects the trading environment to remain
challenging, but is well placed to handle fluctuations in demand
thanks to its wide product range, diversified customer portfolio
and modern production facilities.

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 products are contributing to
infrastructure renewal in CSE.
