Company Information

Wettenberg (euro adhoc) - (Wettenberg, May 24, 2011) - PVA TePla AG,
Wettenberg, a manufacturer of silicon crystallization systems, vacuum
and high-temperature systems is celebrating its 25th anniversary of
"Vacuum systems for the People´s Republic of China" in 2011. Around
80 of these systems have been sold there since 1986.

1986 marked the start of what has now become a very close
relationship between PVA TePla and a whole series of companies from
PR China. The first system, an inductively heated vacuum heat
treatment system for sinter and high-temperature processes such as
degassing, graphitizing, impregnation and reduction, was sent to
Guilin. Originally, an order for a Chinese company in the early years
still had a certain air of exoticism to it. Now the Chinese market
has grown to become the largest single market for the Vacuum Systems
Division at PVA TePla. The company received a total of four orders
between 1986 and 1999 (all for one system), while the subsequent
years saw a downright boom which reached an interim high in 2010 with
12 orders for systems. With regard to incoming orders from China, the
current fiscal year is also following the very same trend as the
previous year.

At the center point of deliveries in recent years are systems for
generating hard metal. 50 such systems have been delivered so far
while several systems are under construction and will be shipped to
China this year.

All in all, the Vacuum Systems Division recorded an extraordinarily
high number of incoming orders in the first months of this year. The
first three months of 2011 are the most successful quarter of this
division so far in the history of the company with regard to incoming
orders, followed by April, which is the most successful individual
month so far.
