Subtitle: Exclusive partner for mobile solutions from Skeye

Hannover/Germany, 19/12/2011. (euro adhoc) - The road from Hoeft &
Wessel leads to Rome: The IT hardware and software specialist for
ticketing, parking and mobile solutions has acquired an additional
partner with a view to reinforcing its successful business in
southern Europe and Italy. With immediate effect, the Italian company
Telis S.p.A (Telecommunication Integrated Services), headquartered in
the "Eternal City", will be supporting the distribution of mobile
Skeye brand terminals in collaboration with Hoeft & Wessel´s Milan
office.

Telis is a leading company in the field of Services and Solution
Provider for telecommunications and IT in Italy. In order to be in
step with business market evolution and ensure the best solutions to
its Customers, Telis has decided to establish this new partnership.

As a Platinum Partner of Hoeft & Wessel AG, the new Italian partner
has ambitious goals and plans to record further growth thanks to its
dense network of customers and distribution centres. The clientele of
Telis comprises the main telecommunications and IT companies in
Italy. Telecom Italia is one of its regular customers.

Very much to the pleasure of Peter Siggaard-Andersen, Head of Skeye
Global Channel at Hoeft & Wessel: "Thanks to the partnership with
Telis, we will further strengthen our already very good position in
the Italian market for mobile data capture systems. Skeye and Telis
are ideal complements to each other. Especially in the field of
service and solutions business, that is to say beyond pure hardware,
namely in pre- and post-sales service, the two companies will benefit
mutually from each other´s strengths and experience."

The co-operative venture with Telis represents a further key element
of Hoeft & Wessel´s internationalisation strategy: in the course of
2011, as many as 16 new partners have already opted for Skeye
products from Hoeft & Wessel. By the end of the year, the share of
revenues accounted for by the partner business in the Skeye division
of Hoeft & Wessel AG is expected to rise to well over one third.
