Development of Sales for the Business Unit The positive trend from the previous years regarding the development of sales continued in 2008: Compared to 2007 we increased our sales volume from 331 million Euros to 484.9 million Euros. This corresponds to an increase of 46%. The largest share with 393.4 million Euros and an increase of 30% was recorded in the area of wood presses. Due to successfully completed projects in the area of metal forming presses we have generated a very pleasing sales volume of 39.7 million Euros. We have well-positioned our company as a producer of heavy-duty presses with steel producing companies. With an increase of 180.9% our presses for tire treads and conveyor belts have asserted themselves outstandingly in the market. The sales volume in this area increased to 13.2 million Euros. The sales volume of our short-cycle presses increased by 76.8% from 5.6 million Euros in 2007 to 9.9 million Euros in 2008. Total Order Quantity and & Milestones With a total order quantity of 502 million Euros, the machinery and plants business unit of Siempelkamp fell short of the outstanding result of the previous year (549.3 million Euros). However, we were able to maintain our leading position in the world market. 14 sold ContiRoll ® lines contributed to this success. Our competence in the area of continuous presses provides customers worldwide with competitive advantages. Our presses are characterized by their fully-developed and reliable technical standards which are customized to customer requirements. This competence assured us a market share of over 70% in 2008. Press for the production of steel cord conveyor belts We also received interesting orders in the area of metal forming presses including a straightening press for heavy plates for Dillinger Hütte, Germany, and two open-die forging presses for customers in China and France. A new complete forging line for truck rims is supplied to a Hungarian customer and a large heavy-plate forming press to a customer in India. Special key data includes the speedy assembly of the crimping press for Europipe in Mülheim as well as the world’s largest O-forming press for Baosteel in China. This press set a milestone with its press capacity of 72 MN. Another order for a steel belt press line was received from a customer in China in the area of rubber presses. Prospects and Forecast Wood-based products are the basis for the industrial production of furniture, wooden flooring, wall paneling, and for houses in wood construction (classic or ready-built houses). The production capacity for wood-based products has increased worldwide according to the growing demand. Fluctuations in the building activities are allowed for. Over and above, many positive factors influence the general prospects for our markets. The demand will not be stopped due to scarce resources; a scarcity of wood is hardly to be expected. Wood-based products will continue to be needed to fulfill the basic building and living needs. Furthermore, the use of a renewable resource is part of the trend of the living concepts of the future. Against this background and after coping with the financial and economic crisis we expect the upward trend from 2003 to 2008 to continue. During this time the worldwide production of wood-based products increased by a total of 27% from 140 million to 179 million m 3 . The current situation of Siempelkamp at the beginning of the crisis is characterized by
the highest order backlog in company history, conservatively calculated on the basis of contracts which are secured by bank credits and letters of credit. After resolving the banking crisis, numerous deferred orders will be reactivated. Our resulting forecast: Even in the light of a reduced number of orders for new projects in 2009, which we expect, we anticipate a positive development of our business for 2010. Siempelkamp Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH & Co. KG opened a new location in Bladnice, Czech Republic, on December 17, 2008. To date 20 employees have started working there. With this latest office the Krefeld-based company orients its competences in many different directions. At the new Czech location Siempelkamp manufactures a wide variety of forming line components ranging from parts for the mat former to the roller conveyor. Employees and Teams On December 31, 2008 the total number of employees for the machinery and plants business unit amounted to 1,677 people including trainees (2007: 1,569 employees including trainees). This corresponds to a total personnel increase of 108 employees compared to the end of 2007. Providing our trainees with modern and diverse educational concepts plays an important role for us. Cooperative engineering education opens up the prospect to combine the apprenticed profession as a design draftsman with engineering studies. The same goes for our apprenticed profession as an industrial business management assistant which can be combined with a Bachelor’s degree program. In 2008 we employed a total of 63 trainees.
