Company Information

Gleisdorf (euro adhoc) - January 16, 2012. The internationally
successful Binder+Co AG has started the 2012 financial year with the
foundation of a new subsidiary in the shape of Bublon GmbH. This
independent company will handle the marketing of BUBLON technology,
which Binder+Co unveiled in the autumn of 2011. This technology
allows the production of an entirely natural basic composite for the
manufacture of building materials with outstanding heat and noise
insulation characteristics. As a result of this expansion, the
Binder+Co Group now consists of a total of four companies.

Karl Grabner, from the Binder+Co Management Board: "The foundation of
our subsidiary Bublon GmbH, represents a further advance in our
growth strategy and a milestone with regard to the marketing of our
new BUBLON technology. We envisage extremely interesting market
potential for this innovative process, the exploitation of which will
provide us with considerable sales revenue growth."

Binder+Co´s foundation of Bublon GmbH has created a solid platform for the
global marketing of its process for the production of a fully natural basic
composite used in the manufacture of building materials, which was presented to
a specialist audience in the autumn of 2011. The outstanding noise and heat
insulation characteristics in question derive from the expansion of perlite and
obsidian, and the use of the "popcorn-like" behaviour of these natural raw
materials, which when heated to over 800°C demonstrate an up to 20-fold increase
in volume.

Bublon GmbH will operate as a supplier of complete plants and if required, apart
from core BUBLON technology, will also cover the up- and downstream comminution,
screening, drying and packaging process phases with Group products. This will
open up interesting new market potential in the industrial regions of Europe,
the USA, Japan and above all, in future, China.

Like Comec-Binder S.r.l., which was founded in 2011, Bublon GmbH is owned
entirely by Binder+Co AG. The sales revenues and results of these two
subsidiaries are allocated to the Processing Technology Segment.

The Binder+Co Group Binder+Co AG is a specialist in the field of
processing, environmental and packaging technology and the world
market leader in the screening and glass recycling segments. The
company was listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange at the end of 2006
and is now part of the Third Market in the mid market segment. The
Binder+Co Group consists of Binder+Co AG, the two fully owned
subsidiaries Comec-Binder S.r.l. and Bublon GmbH, and the Statec
Binder GmbH joint venture. In 2010, Binder+Co was awarded the
Austrian National Innovation Prize for its successfully implemented
inventiveness and in 2011 received the Best Open Innovator Award of
the Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen as the most outstanding SME
in the D-A-CH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland).
