Company Information/Order

Ahrensburg (euro adhoc) - Ahrensburg, March 3, 2011 - Basler AG - one
of the globally leading companies in vision technology - has received
an order in the single-digit million euro range for inspection
systems from the world's biggest manufacturer of LCD glass for flat
panel displays. The proven and in the market so far unsurpassed
performance of Basler Sensic inspection systems was crucial for the
contract award to Basler. So far more than 150 units of Basler Sensic
inspection systems were installed in the LCD industry.

"This order marks another milestone for our solutions business and
confirms our leading position in the inspection of LCD glass for flat
panel displays", explains Dr. Dietmar Ley, CEO of Basler AG. "With
this solution we help our customer with establishing his leading
production technology for LCD glass in a new regional market."

In the past years, Basler AG received regularly major orders for the
delivery of LCD inspection systems to Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. The
systems ordered now are for the first time intended to be installed
in China. The country represents a strongly growing sales market that
all leading LCD manufacturers want to address in the coming years
with own production facilities newly installed on site.

The portfolio streamlining in the solutions segment was successfully
terminated with the sales of the product lines for the inspection of
optical media, solar wafers, and rubber/elastomer sealings. The
solutions segment is now fully focusing on the inspection solutions
for the LCD and PV thin film industries.

Basler Vision Technologies is a leading global developer and
manufacturer of high grade cameras for industrial and medical
applications, traffic control systems, and video surveillance.
Product design is driven by industry requirements. The cameras offer
easy integration, compact sizes, and excellent price/performance
ratio. These are decisive factors for Basler's present-day leading
position in the field of GigE cameras. Basler has more than 20 years
of experience in image processing and offers one of the widest
product portfolios in the industry. The company employs approximately
300 employees in its headquarters in Ahrensburg, Germany, and in the
