Norderstedt (euro adhoc) - Lorenzo Termite is the name of the 2,000th
employee to be recruited by wind power system producer Nordex. An
Italian mechanical engineer, he was appointed to the position of
project manager for South East Europe - one of the company´s growth
regions - on September 1, 2008.

Termite is one of a total of 90 employees whom Nordex recruited last
month. Since September 2007, the group´s headcount has risen by
around one third, climbing from some 1,500 to a current 2,000 or so.
"The market is offering us enormous opportunities for growth which we
want to continue using. And to do this, we especially require new
qualified employees," says CEO Thomas Richterich, explaining the
reasons for the additions to staff numbers.

Lorenzo Termite is contributing eleven years of experience from
international projects in the steel industry. He has been living in
Germany for six years and was most recently project manager for
rolling stock and special machinery. He is also completing additional
studies of economics alongside his career. He opted for Nordex on
account of the company´s rapid growth and increasingly international
footprint. "It is exciting to be able to play a role in such a
process," says Termite.

Nordex remains committed to its growth strategy: over the past four
years, its sales have been growing annually by around 50%, making it
one of the most expansionary companies in its industry. This year,
business volumes are expected to come to EUR 1.1 billion, up from EUR
750 million in the previous year.

In addition to further recruiting, Nordex is currently spending
heavily on new production facilities to create the necessary
structures for continued growth. Thus, it is increasing its European
production capacity threefold and also expanding its sites in the Far
East and oversees substantially. Capacity in China is initially to be
doubled, while Nordex is setting up its own production facilities in
the United States as of 2009.

Nordex will be an exhibitor at Husum WindEnergy on September 9 -13,
where representatives of the Human Resources department will be
providing information on the currently roughly 200 vacancies which
the company wants to fill by the end of the year. In particular,
Nordex has openings for purchases, engineers and project managers.
