acquisition of the former Arcotronics, we would never have succeeded in
opening the market for consumer electronics so quickly and, above all, so
successfully. With the major orders that we have now obtained we are
raising the Battery business segment to a new revenue range, thereby taking
another important step towards diversifying our technology and customer
portfolio."

AG's excellent positioning in this attractive market: "The potential for us
as a leading high-tech equipment manufacturer in the lithium-ion battery
segment is huge. In addition to the existing extensive battery segment for
consumer electronics, markets of the future, such as electromobility and
stationary energy storage, will also drive the market dynamic further
forward. I am certain that these contracts are just the beginning and that
we will continue to grow considerably in the Battery segment as well."
