Bright outlook for SW Umwelttechnik on major orders in Central and
Southeastern Europe

* EUR 6 m order for drainage system for Budapest-Pecs motorway
* EUR 4 m order for shopping centre in Slovakia
* Record EUR 59.1m order backlog as per 31st May 2008
* Excellent earnings performance in first five months of year

SW Umwelttechnik - a Vienna listed family firm with its core markets
in Central and Southeastern Europe (CSE) - is continuing to record
strong book growth. The environmental technology company's Water
Conservation and Infrastructure business sectors have recently won
major contracts in all their main markets (Austria, Hungary, Romania
and Slovakia). SW Umwelttechnik has gained market shares in CSE, and
has full order books despite weak construction activity in Hungary,
and not yet started public investment in Romania.

Order backlog stood at a record EUR59.1m at the end of May 2008.
Hungary remained the largest geographical market, accounting for 62%
of all orders. Meanwhile Romania's contribution continued to rise,
reaching 20%. The breakdown in terms of business sectors - 57%
Infrastructure sector, 24% Water Conservation and 18% Engineering -
reflects the growing importance of industrial and commercial
customers for SW Umwelttechnik.

Hungary Despite adverse economic conditions the Water Conservation
and Infrastructure sectors are executing three new projects in
Hungary. SW Umwelttechnik has won a contract worth a total of EUR6m
to supply pipes, man holes and channels for the M6/M60 motorway
between Budapest and Pecs which is currently under construction. The
project is already in under way, and the final deliveries should be
made by mid-2009.

The company has also won a EUR2.5m order to supply precast elements
for shopping centres in Miskolc and Budapest by October 2008. And it
has picked up a EUR1.5m contract, due for completion by the end of
the year, for the drainage system at an industrial park in Komarom.

Romania SW Umwelttechnik is continuing to make strong progress in
Romania. At the start of this week the company received an order for
precast elements and floor systems worth EUR2.5m to the Cotroceni
Park mall development in Bucharest.

Slovakia Marketing efforts in Slovakia have also been highly
successful. SW Umwelttechnik has won a EUR4m contract for the supply
and erection of precast members for a shopping centre in Presov;
completion is scheduled for October 2008.

Austria The fish ladder developed by SW Umwelttechnik is attracting
widespread attention in Austria. The installation of a multi-level
fish pass at Heiligenblut on the River Möll marked the second order
win for this innovative technology. The "Villach barrage" - the
reference project for the fish ladder - is being monitored by the
University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna,
and results have so far been highly encouraging. The researchers are
due to hand in their final report on the pilot project in September.

Property The sale of a six hectare site in Budapest that is surplus
to operational requirements, agreed in a frame contract last year, is
expected to be completed in June 2008. The EUR7m proceeds are to be
invested in expansion in Romania. SW Umwelttechnik has other surplus
properties, acquired in connection with investment projects, with a
market value of about EUR10m, and will be disposing of them over the
next years in order to strengthen its financial base.

Outlook Management believes that the excellent order book position
confirms its full- year guidance for 2008, and continues to forecast
revenue growth of about 20%. And additionally it expects the strong
orders to give a still bigger boost to EBIT, which is seen improving
by around 60%.

Founded in 1910, SW Umwelttechnik remains a family business, though
it has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1997. The group
is widely identified with sustainable enterprise and rapid expansion
in Central and Southeastern Europe (CSE). Its innovative
environmental technology products are contributing to infrastructure
renewal in CSE.
