At its meeting held today, the Supervisory Board of Rosenbauer
International AG accepted the Executive Board´s proposal and set the
agenda for the shape of the company´s future top management by
appointing Dr. Dieter Siegel as a Member of the Executive Board from
January 1, 2011.

Dieter Siegel will be succeeding Manfred Schwetz, who will be
retiring as planned when his Executive Board employment contract
expires at the end of September 2011, after 16 years as the Board
member in charge of Sales. Manfred Schwetz has been instrumental in
the company´s successful development, helping in his capacity as
Board member in charge of Sales to turn Rosenbauer into the biggest
exporter in the industry. By acquiring the stakes in the US
companies, Manfred Schwetz also laid the foundation for Rosenbauer´s
success story on the American market.

Dieter Siegel was born in Linz, Austria, on September 20, 1964 and
studied Commercial Science at the Vienna University of Economics and
Business. After a spell at the Austrian Institute for Industrial
Research in Vienna, he moved to the Controlling Dept. of RHI AG, the
world market leader for refractory products, where he most recently
headed the company´s "Business Unit Steel Europe", overseeing annual
sales of around 600 Mio Euro. Dieter Siegel thus has wide-ranging
international experience in the industrial field, making him ideally
equipped for his future duties.

He has been with Rosenbauer International AG since October 1, 2009,
with responsibility for the business units Fire & Safety Equipment
and Business Development. After Manfred Schwetz retires, Dieter
Siegel will take on responsibility for the Specialty Vehicles
business unit as well, which will also put him in charge of
International Sales and Customer Service. In his capacity as a Member
of the Supervisory Board, Dieter Siegel was already involved in the
oversight of the Group´s business from 2002 to 2009, where as a
member of the majority-owning Rosenbauer family he also pursued the
long-termist strategy that distinguishes the company.

"By appointing Dieter Siegel to the Executive Board, we have pointed
the way forward regarding the shape of the company´s top management,
while ensuring its continuity", notes Supervisory Board Chairman Dr.
Alfred Hutterer, commenting on today´s resolution.
