NORMA Group invests in new plant in India

Maintal, Germany, 26 June 2012 - NORMA Group AG (´NORMA Group´), a global
market and technology leader in engineered joining technology, is building
a new production facility in Talegaon near Pune, India. In India, the
company is represented since 2009. With the new plant, NORMA Group is
enhancing its production capacity to keep pace with the increased demand of
the Indian market for connectors and joining elements. Production is
expected to start in August 2012.

Due to tighter emission standards for the automotive industry and other
sectors, the demand for NORMA Group´s engineered joining technology is
growing consistently. These standards also apply increasingly to the Indian
market, which offers considerable growth potential. The new 4,500 m² plant
will increase NORMA Group´s production capacity fivefold.

As part of its growth strategy for the Indian market, the company is also
expanding its distribution network. As yet, wholesalers, suppliers of spare
parts to OEMs and hardware stores in eight states have had access to NORMA
Group´s products. Since December 2011, NORMA Group has being consistently
adding to its local distribution team in order to meet client demand from
further states going forward. With more than 30 distributors, the major
industrial regions are already covered today.

´India´s dynamic market offers us huge growth opportunities we want to
exploit consistently with the new plant in order to further strengthen our
market position. Our stronger local presence brings us closer to our
clients in India and gives us the opportunity to serve them according to
their individual needs, ´ says Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group.
