Swiss Equity Award received<br />
In September we won the Swiss Equity Award for<br />
our third-place ranking among the more than 150<br />
companies in the SIX Swiss Exchange’s small and<br />
mid-cap segment.<br />
The scoring system was based on stock performance<br />
during the period from September 2010 to<br />
August <strong>2011</strong>, when Starrag Group clearly beat the<br />
SPI Extra benchmark index with a gain of nearly<br />
30 %, as well as on a survey of 300 professional<br />
investors and financial analysts who are specialized<br />
in Swiss small and mid-cap stocks.<br />

New service solutions and<br />
opportunities<br />
We continued to develop and refine our modular<br />
service packages and added CBM (Condition-<br />
Based Monitoring) to our offering. The assessments<br />
of current status and trend reports made<br />
possible through CBM enable preventive maintenance<br />
to be carried out in a more selective and<br />
efficient manner. For the first time a large HEC<br />
machine in China was assembled and commissioned<br />
by local service technicians alone – an<br />
important step forward in enhancing the skills and<br />
capabilities of our regional service centers.<br />
A Dörries Scharmann center of competence for<br />
the complete reconditioning and refurbishment<br />
of machine tool systems and equipment, including<br />
a dedicated team of engineering and project<br />
management specialists, was established, creating<br />
new business opportunities in retrofitting for<br />
every brand in the Group.
