Company Information

Subtitle: Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH books second major order for
Meerwind

Salzgitter (euro adhoc) - Salzgitter Group company Ilsenburger
Grobblech GmbH (ILG) has received an order from Siemens Wind Power
A/S to supply around 15,200 t of steel plate to construct the tubular
steel masts for the Meerwind offshore wind farm. In 2011 ILG was
awarded an order from AMBAU GmbH for materials for the mast
foundations. This new contract means that ILG will be supplying all
of the steel, totaling more than 85,000 t, for the masts for the wind
farm which covers an area of 42 km² out in the North Sea.

The steel will be used to manufacture 80 wind turbine masts
commissioned by Siemens Wind Power. Production of the plate, which
will be supplied with seams pre-welded and dressed, has already
begun. Just-in-time deliveries to the wind turbine builders in
Denmark will commence in September.

Construction of the wind farm is scheduled to start in late 2012,
with commissioning due by the end of 2013.

These orders underscore the high expertise and competitive strengths
of Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH as a supplier to the offshore wind
industry, as the company continues to successfully develop its
involvement in this sector.

With this order, the Salzgitter Group is once again demonstrating the
indispensible role played by steel as the energy industry refocuses
on renewables.

Ilsenburger Grobblech GmbH is a subsidiary of Salzgitter AG, one of
Europe's leading steel and technology groups with some 200
subsidiaries and associate companies and a workforce totaling around
25,000. ILG employs 800 staff at its plants in Ilsenburg and
Salzgitter where it manufactures steel plate products for a wide
range of applications and environments. Each year ILG supplies around
800,000 t of plate in some 350 different grades to customers all over
the world.
