AURELIUS subsidiary SECOP wins the Innovation Award 2015

- SECOP honored with the Innovation Award 2015 on the occasion of the
China Refrigeration Exhibition 2015

- Strong growth on sustainable products for the world of tomorrow

- Very good start to the current year

Munich, May 26, 2015 - The AURELIUS subsidiary SECOP, a specialist in
advanced compressor technology, was honored once again for its successful
research and development with the Innovation Award 2015 at the world's
biggest trade exhibition China Refrigeration Exhibition 2015 in Shanghai.
The company also received this year's Environmental Pioneer Award for its
pioneering role in the development of environmentally friendly
technologies. "We are delighted to have been honored again with innovation
awards for our products, and especially for winning both awards this year,"
said Mogens Søholm, Speaker of the Management of SECOP. "There is
tremendous future potential for new compressor products that sustainably
protect the environment, are energy-efficient and quiet, operate with
environmentally friendly refrigerants, and are built with less materials.
These features address the global megatrend, and that is our mission at
SECOP."

SECOP specializes in advanced compressor technology. The globally active
company supports its customers on a long-term basis by developing new
products and custom solutions. The new variable-speed compressor KXV for
which the company received an award in Shanghai embodies a highly
innovative technology of the future. The KXV compressor can be traced back
to the successful acquisition of ACC in late 2013, which created an
opportunity to combine the best of both worlds. The KXV compressor unites
the world's best pump technology in the Kappa compressor with the world's
best motor and electronics technology in the XV. The XV and KXV compressor
products meet the highest standards for energy efficiency. The compact
model size allows for an unrivalled price-performance ratio, which broadens
the addressable market considerably.

"Long-term growth in this industry depends on offering the products of
tomorrow," said Gert Purkert of the AURELIUS Executive Board. "By
maintaining a position of technology leadership, we have guided our
