Schüco congratulates its new brand ambassador on match play victory / Ian Poulter Teeing Off on Climate Protection

Bielefeld (ots) - With his striking and remarkable appearance, the
35-year-old Englishman is one of the world's most professional
golfers. He is extremely successful. In the final of the Volvo Match
Play Championship in Spain last weekend, "Poults", as he is called,
finished in first place. As of immediately, the pro golfer and
Schüco, the leading provider of Green Technology and Clean Energy
from Solar and Windows around the building envelope, are joining
forces. Both golf and Schüco feature a perfect harmony between nature
and technology. And high aspirations in terms of precision,
perfection, professionalism, and sustainability. To focus even more
attention on these qualities, a team of world-class golfers tees off
around the globe on climate protection, led by world's number three
golfer, Martin Kaymer.

Sustainable contribution to climate protection

Ian Poulter had this to say about the new partnership: "Schüco is
a company that follows up its words with deeds. Its innovative
technologies are unique and I am fully convinced that they are making
a sustainable contribution to global climate protection. I'm very
happy to be part of the team." Poulter, who has won eleven European
Tour tournaments to date, celebrated his greatest triumphs in 2010,
when he won the WGC World Match Play Championship and was a member of
Europe?s victorious Ryder Cup team.

Dirk U. Hindrichs, the President and CEO of Schüco International
KG, is happy about the partnership with the British top golfer: "Ian
Poulter is a very charismatic personality in international golf - a
successful golfer who surprises people with his unusual ideas away
from the greens. He is an ideal brand ambassador for us and will
contribute to raising awareness of the Schüco brand and our climate
protection goals. We?re very pleased about the cooperation"?

Generating Energy - Networking Energy. Window and façade systems not
only save energy due to optimum thermal insulation, they also
generate energy thanks to efficient solar solutions. This creates an
excess of energy which can be used by means of intelligent
networking. For building functions, as well as for everyday life. The
result is a significant step towards energy self-sufficiency. Towards
the sustainable conservation of natural resources. And for a secure
future. With 5250 employees and 12,000 partner companies, Schüco is
