Company Information

The Segment Semperflex of the publicly listed Semperit Group has
achieved a new production record. For the first time in the company's
history, the world's leading manufacturer of hydraulic and industrial
hoses produced more than 100 million metres of hoses within a period
of one year. The new all-time-high was already achieved at the
beginning of December 2014 after a period of 11 months. Since 1996
Semperflex has increased its hose production volume more than tenfold
from 10 million metres to more than 100 million metres in 2014. This
record output would enable Semperit hoses to circle the globe about
two and a half times.

"The new production record is the result of our successful growth
strategy. We managed to expand and increase our market share even in
economically difficult times because we positioned ourselves to
operate in an even more global and customer-oriented manner. We are
further strongly expanding production capacities because we remain
optimistic concerning our long-term growth potential. Additional
capacity will be available as of the first quarter of 2015 at the
Odry site, which is already Europe's largest hose production plant",
says Semperit CEO Thomas Fahnemann in commenting on the success of
Semperflex in surpassing the 100 million metre milestone.

Recently business of the Segment Semperflex developed more favourably
than the overall market. Semperflex counteracted the weaker market
development by intensifying its sales and marketing activities as a
means of increasing its market share.
