Subtitle: - In the lead with ticketing systems, car park and mobile
terminals - Company exhibits latest ticketing solutions at the
suissetraffic trade fair in Bern

Hannover/Germany, 23/08/2011. (euro adhoc) - Switzerland is becoming
increasingly important for the business activities of the Hoeft &
Wessel Group. The IT and engineering technology specialist for
ticketing, parking and mobile solutions is one of the leading
providers of ticketing systems, car park and mobile terminals in the
country. In the last several years, the share of sales revenues
accounted for by Switzerland increased to more than 10 per cent. This
makes Switzerland the third-largest market for the technology
enterprise.

At present, Hoeft & Wessel supplies Almex brand ticket terminals to
public transport utilities in Geneva and is developing a new
communications solution on a GSM-Rail basis for the Swiss Federal
Railways SBB. Numerous car park terminals from the British subsidiary
Metric are part of the landscape of Geneva and other cities. The
Swiss Post uses a mobile Skeye brand terminal from Hoeft & Wessel for
delivery.

At the Swiss specialist trade fair for public transport, the
suissetraffic in Bern, Hoeft & Wessel will be displaying the very
latest ticketing solutions of its Almex brand from 6 to 9 September
2011. These also include the new compact ticket vending machine with
the product name almex.midi which, as a special feature, is also on
offer in a solar-powered version.
