"Authorized LDS Manufacturers" to be listed on corporate Website

Garbsen, Germany, 24 July 2014 - Effective immediately, users of Laser
Direct Structuring technology (LDS) will receive a seal of approval from
the laser specialists in Germany. In doing so, LPKF aims to further
increase the quality of its LDS process and protect end customers from
product pirates.

With LPKF's Laser Direct Structuring systems, circuit tracks can be
im-printed directly onto three-dimensional plastic components. This saves
space and weight, making it particularly suited to the manufacture of
components for small mobile end devices such as smartphones.

"We only award the "Authorized LDS Manufacturers" seal to clients who
fulfill our high quality standards and who have proven that they carry out
production exclusively according to our patented process," declared LPKF
board chairman Dr. Ingo Bretthauer. The seal guarantees a high
technological standard and primarily serves to ensure that quality
standards are met for LPKF's end customers, among which are reputable
smartphone manufacturers. With the certification, manufacturers
additionally obtain the right to feature the quality seal 'Authentic LDS
Parts' on outer packaging.

LPKF has ensured transparency where the quality assurance offensive is
concerned: The names of the Authorized LDS Partners have been published on
the LPKF website (www.lpkf.com/authorized-lds-manufacturer). Dr. Ingo
Bretthauer: "This will allow all end customers to quickly and easily check
if their suppliers are working with high-quality LPKF technology." LDS
systems are an important growth driver for LPKF and have shown a very good
order intake in recent months.

Technological know-how that is "made in Germany", which is precisely what
LPKF offers, continues to remain highly attractive to manufacturers
overseas. Companies that purchase machines from German manufacturers or
which use their high-caliber technology expect increased quality and
productivity. LPKF supports this phenomenon by continually improving and
upgrading its technologies. This benefits both users and end customers.
