merger, acquisition and takeover
Dettingen/Erms (Germany), July 31, 2007
+++ Automotive supplier ElringKlinger AG has acquired a further 7.5% 
interest in PTFE specialist ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik GmbH, 
Bietigheim-Bissingen, from the company's co-partners and thus now has
an overall holding of 74.5% in the subsidiary.
In fiscal 2006, ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik GmbH, an entity 
included fully in the consolidated group, generated sales revenues 
amounting to EUR 58.8 million and earnings before taxes of EUR 11.4 
million. The current 2007 fiscal year is expected to produce 
additional growth in both sales revenues and earnings.
The transaction was signed by both parties on Monday. Under the terms
of the agreement, the purchase price is to remain confidential. The 
EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) multiple paid by 
ElringKlinger is within the upper single-digit range. Minority 
interests in consolidated net income will decline due to the 
aforementioned acquisition, as a result of which consolidated net 
income after minority interests, targeted for 2007 will increase 
further by another approx. EUR 0.2 million proportionately as off 
August 1, 2007.
At its operating sites in Bietigheim-Bissingen and Heidenheim, 
Germany, ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik GmbH develops and markets 
products and components made of high-performance PTFE 
(polytetrafluoroethylene), which is particularly resistant to heat 
and chemicals. Alongside the automobile sector, the company's 
principal customers are industrial manufacturers - particularly 
within the field of mechanical engineering and packaging - and, 
increasingly, companies operating in the medical engineering and 
biotech industries.
At present, ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik is implementing a 
large-scale expansion project at its Bietigheim-Bissingen plant, 
investing in process technology required for the production ramp-up 
of its new material Moldflon®. Moldflon®, a pioneering PTFE material 
suitable for injection-molding, can be used to create entirely new 
component geometries for a broad range of industrial applications.
