Garbsen (euro adhoc) - Garbsen, 19 June 2012 - The special mechanical
engineering company LPKF reports a significant upswing in the demand
for laser systems for cutting printed circuit boards. Incoming orders
for this product line have already reached a level above EUR 10
million after only five months - sales of these products in the whole
of the 2011 financial year were only around EUR 6 million. The
clients include big-name international electronics groups.

"We continue to succeed on a regular basis in replacing conventional
product methods with our laser technology," says Dr. Ingo Bretthauer,
CEO of LPKF AG. The UV laser cutting systems enable single printed
circuit boards to be cut extremely precisely and in any shape from a
larger multi-image board. The technology requires no mechanical tools
or complex clamping systems. The cutting channel can also be right at
the edge of the board because the high precision technology does not
harm tracks or components.

With the system families LPKF MicroLine 6000 and LPKF MicroLine 1000,
LPKF delivers concepts for industrial mass production, as well as
production requiring very high variability.

The parties have agreed to maintain confidentiality over the details
of the orders.

of laser systems for micro-material processing, where it enjoys world
