Augsburg, Germany, 1 October 2014 - Kontron, a globally leading provider of
Embedded Computer Technologies (ECT), today completed the site
consolidation announced in July 2013 as scheduled. Effective immediately,
the company's Germany-based facilities will operate from three locations:
Augsburg, Deggendorf and Saarbrücken. Kontron's new headquarters and
central technology campus are located in Augsburg. With this step, the
company has completed a key measure of its extensive cost-reduction and
efficiency programme "New Kontron".

"I am very pleased that we have managed to relocate our sites as planned.
Today, we can mark another important measure of the 'New Kontron' programme
as being successfully completed", said Rolf Schwirz, CEO of Kontron AG. "We
now further concentrate on our strategic goals and the needs of our clients
with increased efficiency due to our centralized business operations. We
are a global leader in ECT solutions - and we want to defend and further
strengthen this position."

Over the past months, all activities of the Kaufbeuren, Eching, Roding and
Ulm sites have been relocated to Augsburg and Deggendorf. Existing
buildings in Augsburg were refurbished and re-fitted accordingly. The
construction of an additional building for more than 300 people for the
new, state-of-the-art technology campus in Augsburg is proceeding on
schedule. The sites have been consolidated in order to exploit synergies in
research and development, production and distribution.
