SW Umwelttechnik — a listed family business with its core markets in
Central and Southeastern Europe — has recently won a number of large
contracts in Hungary. Consortia including the company have secured
EUR7.5 million (m) in orders; its share of the deals is worth
EUR3.5m. This marketing success vindicates SW Umwelttechnik´s
decision to focus on local government infrastructure projects.

The improvement in trading conditions in Hungary due to growing local
authority investment is being reflected in increased order intake.
For instance, local subsidiary OMS is part of a bidding consortium
that has won the order for a sewerage and drainage project in
Kecskemét. The EUR4m contract, scheduled for completion by mid-2010,
involves laying 40 km of sewers as well as 1.5 km of reinforced
concrete drains with a diameter of 1,400 mm.

OMS is also a member of a three-strong consortium that is
rehabilitating a wastewater treatment plant in Esztergom. This
project is worth a total of EUR2.1m. It comprises expanding capacity
to about 6,000 cubic metres per day, upgrading the sludge treatment
plant, modifying the activation tank, and expanding the energy supply
and control system. Completion is scheduled for September 2010, and
will be followed by a six-month period of trial operation. In
addition, OMS is the lead company (50% interest) in a group that has
made the winning bid for a drainage project in Hévizgyörk. Both pipes
with manholes and open drains are to be laid. The total value of the
order is EUR1.2m, and the scheme is due for completion by mid-2010.

SW Umwelttechnik´s Water Conservation Division has also won an order.
This is to supply reinforced concrete pipes and manholes worth
EUR200,000 for the new Moto GP Balatonring motorcycle race track. The
construction work is to be finished in March 2010.

Although SW Umwelttechnik expects 2010 to be another testing year it
sees trading conditions steadying, bolstered by public sector
projects. Due to the company´s strong competitive position in both
its industrial and commercial, and municipal markets, and to its
heavy investment in modern production capacity, it is well placed to
weather the current economic phase and make the most of the
anticipated upswing in 2011.

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.
