Dear Readers:
Dr.-Ing. Hans W. Fechner
Chairman of the Executive Board
G. Siempelkamp GmbH & Co. KG
“Whether a permanent and sustained upward business trend is realistic, is still open,” was a statement we
made at this point in our last Bulletin. Despite a successful beginning of 2010, we did not want to get carried
away with early forecasts. After all, even Churchill knew: “It is always wise to look ahead, but diffi cult to look
further than you can see.”
In the summer it was still unknown whether the positive trend on the world markets would develop into
stable business success for our company. Meanwhile we can say: With 22 continuous presses sold in the fi rst
nine months of 2010, our business division Machinery and Plant Engineering has had the highest number of
orders since years! 2007 and 2008 were strong business years, the demand in 2010, however, has surpassed
both years.
Siempelkamp’s Foundry and Nuclear Technology business divisions have also had an extraordinary business
year. New and improved products as well as the sustainable expansion of our location and an enlargement of
our competences have made our services interesting to an increasing number of new and existing international
customers.
We thank you for choosing Siempelkamp in 2010 for so many new and ambitious projects. Whether it is
in Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia or South America: You, our customers, have specifi cally put your trust in
Siempelkamp products in 2010 to help realize your ambitions for market success.
We look forward to exciting reports in future Bulletins about the numerous new locations and plants for which
the foundations were set this year!
With kind regards from Krefeld,
Dr.-Ing. Hans W. Fechner
