Subtitle: CEO Richterich: “Hamburg is an ideal base for our
international expansion”.

Hamburg (euro adhoc) - Nordex SE is concentrating its head office at
a new building which has been constructed in accordance with
ecological principles in the Hamburg suburb of Langenhorn. In the
presence of Hamburg´s mayor Christoph Ahlhaus, Nordex today declared
its new corporate head office officially open. With some 500 jobs,
this is one of the largest new settlements in the renewable energies
segment in Hamburg. "For us, Hamburg is an ideal location from which
we are able to additionally extend our international activities and
manage our regional companies in Europe, America and Asia," said
Thomas Richterich, CEO of Nordex SE.

Said Ahlhaus: "Over the past few years, the Hamburg city government
has systematically been orienting its economic policies to
encouraging the technologies of the future. As a result, more and
more green-tech companies are settling in Hamburg. Nordex provides
the best example of this. The new head office will be making a
crucial contribution, allowing Hamburg and its metropolitan region to
additionally reinforce their status as an important center for
future-oriented energies and imbuing the city´s title as the 2011
European Green Capital with life."

Known as the "Nordex Forum", the new building has a gross floor area
of around 15,000 m2 , providing sufficient space for up to 700
employees. In the event of greater space requirements, it will be
possible to double the capacity to up to 1,200 employees in the
medium term by means of a further construction phase. Explained
Richterich: "One key factor for us is the added efficiency. The
effects of short routes, greater sharing amongst employees and
heightened motivation can already be measured so shortly after the
relocation."

In keeping with Hamburg´s status as 2011 European Green Capital, the
German Society of Sustainable Building has awarded the Nordex Forum a
"gold" certificate on the occasion of its official opening. "Among
other things, the Nordex Forum has been awarded the certificate in
recognition of the fact that the building betters the rules
stipulated in the Energy Savings Ordinance by well over 20 percent
thanks to the use of energy-efficient building installations. Thus,
Nordex has not only constructed an attractive and prestigious
building in architectural terms but also a very energy-efficient
one," said Heiner Helbig, a member of the management board of
Hochtief Construction, which built the new head office.

The building is owned and operated by the real estate division of
life in-surance company Swiss Life. "We had been planning for quite
some time to add one or two attractive commercial buildings to
supplement our real estate portfolio in a structurally interesting
region such as Hamburg. We are pleased to have found in Nordex SE the
right partner," said Klaus G. Leyh, CEO of Swiss Life in Germany.
"What I also found compelling was the integrated design of this green
building, which boasts high resource efficiency and pays particular
attention to sustainability aspects."
