Company Information
Hamm, July 26, 2010 - SMT Scharf AG (German
Securities Code (WKN) 575198, ISIN DE0005751986), technology and 
global market leader for rail-bound railway systems for the mining 
sector, has received two new orders from China, including the first 
order via its Chinese joint venture. The orders have a total value 
for SMT Scharf of around EUR 3 million.
In January this year, SMT Scharf received its license from the 
Chinese authorities to form the joint venture Shandong Xinsha 
Monorail Co. Ltd. This company, which is located in Shandong 
province, started operations in June 2010. The joint venture received
its initial order from a Chinese industrial holding company, which 
already uses SMT Scharf´s monorail hanging railways in several of its
coal mines. SMT Scharf will supply two construction sets from Germany
which will then be completed in China. "We are very pleased that our 
joint venture has already been able to acquire its first order, just 
briefly after commencing its operations," commented Dr. Friedrich 
Trautwein, SMT Scharf AG´s CEO. "This confirms our approach of 
working together with a local partner in order to offer our customers
in this region close sales support and service on location."
In addition, a new Chinese customer ordered three monorail hanging 
railway trains from SMT Scharf. These will also be used in coal 
mines. Both orders will be delivered and invoiced in 2010.
Company profile
The SMT Scharf group develops, builds and maintains transportation 
equipment for mining and tunneling. The main product are rail-bound 
railways which are used all over the world, primarily in hard coal 
mines and underground mining for gold, platinum and other metals. 
They are used to transport material and personnel with working loads 
of up to 45 tons. Rail-bound railways are the only means of 
underground transport that can be used on branching lines to cope 
with inclines of more than 13 degrees. The SMT Scharf Group has its 
own companies in Germany, Poland, Great Britain, South Africa, China 
and Russia and additional dealerships. The railways that SMT Scharf 
develops are characterized in particular by their high-performance 
engines, great transport performance and low operating and 
maintenance costs. SMT Scharf records more than 80% of its revenue in
high-growth foreign markets, such as Russia, China and South Africa. 
Business with replacement parts and repairs accounts for around 40% 
of revenue. The entire market for underground transport technology 
comprises EUR 5 billion to EUR 7 billion per year according to the 
company´s estimates. SMT Scharf AG has been listed in the Prime 
Standard (Regulated Market) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 
April 11, 2007.
