Company Information


Hamm (euro adhoc) - June 17, 2011 - SMT Scharf AG (WKN 575198, ISIN
DE0005751986), technology and global market leader for rail-bound railway
systems for the mining industry, has received a significant order from a Chinese
mining group. It comprises three train sets for monorails, tracks and related
equipment, and has a total value of more than EUR 3 million. Delivery will be as
early as the third and fourth quarters of 2011, thereby allowing the order to
become effective in terms of revenue and earnings in the current financial year.

The train sets are to supply two excavation points in a hard coal mine in Anhui
province with materials. This will entail commanding gradients of about 15
degrees on a track with a total length of 6 km. SMT Scharf has developed the DZ
2200 type locomotive for such conditions. This locomotive achieves higher
tractive power than any other product available on the market. The mining group
intends to deploy these locomotives as its standard underground transportation
technology in the future. 

"We are pleased to have convinced a further customer of the superior performance
data of our machines," as Dr. Friedrich Trautwein, CEO of SMT Scharf AG,
comments on the sales success. He also identifies further growth opportunities:
"Demand for particularly high-performing locomotives is growing in both China
and Russia - and SMT Scharf AG products meet these requirements optimally. With
these strengths we have achieved a clear and unique selling point."
