    PRESSEINFORMATION / PRESS RELEASE

    R. STAHL AG acquires an interest in Russian company ZAVOD Goreltex

    Waldenburg, 16 September 2016 - R. STAHL consistently expands its market
    position in Russia. The German company R. STAHL acquires an interest of
    25% in Russian company ZAVOD Goreltex, in the context of a capital
    increase. ZAVOD Goreltex is number two in the Russian explosion protection
    market. With this investment, R. STAHL lays the foundations for additional
    growth in Russia.

    ZAVOD Goreltex is located in Saint Petersburg and today has the sales
    offices in Saint Petersburg, Tyumen, Perm, Khabarovsk and also in Belarus
    and Kazakhstan. The Russian company has 23 years of experience in explosion
    protection and is one of the leading players on the Russian explosion
    protection market. Goreltex is a manufacturer of explosion-protected
    equipment, with two large manufacturing sites in Saint Petersburg and
    Tyumen. The company has grown strongly in recent years. With the capital
    increase provided by R. STAHL, the production facilities in
    Saint Petersburg will be extended.

    "We have monitored the development in the Russian market and we are
    convinced that the market will have great potential in future. Investment
    in company Goreltex will grant us easier access to the Russian market to
    strengthen and to expand R. STAHL's position", says Martin Schomaker, CEO
    of R. STAHL AG, about the reasons for the investment. "Though the German-
    Russian relations are currently strained, we expect them to stabilize in
    the long term so that commercial business will be promoted", Bernd Marx,
    CFO of R. STAHL AG, elaborates. Due to the current European embargo policy,
    Russian companies are urged by their government to prefer the products
    manufactured in the territory of the Russian Federation instead of foreign
    manufactures. This strongly increases growth of the Russian manufacturers
    including manufacturers of Ex-products. Through the application of the
    German products in the equipment produced in Russia, the product range of
    ZAVOD Goreltex will be significantly extended. Through the investment,
    R. STAHL will take part in the development of the Russian company.
