order intake

20.02.2009

* EUR5 million order for drinking water and wastewater treatment
plant in Romania * Waste water purification systems for Austrian oil
pipeline * First order for bridge beams in Hungary

SW Umwelttechnik - a listed family business with its core markets
in Central Europe - won orders worth over EUR7 million in February
2009 and keep order books stable despite harsh trading conditions in
the industrial and commercial market segment. This success is
testimony to the group's strategy of focusing on public
sector's infrastructural and environmental investments.

SW Umwelttechnik subsidiary OMS Romania srl has won two orders for
wastewater treatment plants in Transylvania. A EUR4.5m contract
comprises a drinking water purification plant and a 20 km
distribution network for the town of Sangeorgiu de Padure. It also
involves a 20 km sewer network to collect wastewater for a fully
biological treatment plant with a capacity of 710 cu m/hour. The
other order is for a EUR1.7m project in Sancraiu de Mures, Zalau
municipality, under which the sewer network will be extended by 20 km
and pumping stations will be replaced. Both projects are funded by
the EU and the Romanian government, and are scheduled for completion
in the second quarter of 2010.

SW Umwelttechnik Österreich GmbH will supply surface water
protection systems for nine pumping, pressure relief and evacuation
stations on the Transalpine Ölleitung (TAL) oil pipeline in
Austria and Northern Italy worth EUR500,000. These equipment
will prevent any oil spills and prevent groundwater
contamination.

The group has also won a EUR400,000 order for bridge beams for the
Komarom bypass project - its first contract of this kind in Hungary;
delivery is due in August of this year. SW Umwelttechnik is to
manufacture 75 bridge members of lengths up to 33 m and deliver
them to the construction site, resulting in rapid erection.

SW Umwelttechnik expects a further sharp decline in all forms of
investment by industrial and commercial companies in CEE countries
in 2009, but sees public sector investment holding up or even
increasing due to the announced stimulus programmes.

The group will provide a detailed review of business developments in
2008 and an updated outlook for 2009 when it announces its
preliminary results on 27 February 2009.

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