Aalen (euro adhoc) - With revenues up by 24 percent, fiscal year 2011  even 
exceeds  the  good previous year (+ 23 percent)

- Group revenues climb to roughly EUR 360 million for the January and December
period 2011

- High order intake supports good start into the financial year 2012

Aalen, Germany, 11 January 2012. Following a strong performance in the fourth
quarter 2011, SHW AG, a leading supplier of CO2-relevant pumps and engine
components as well as brake discs, achieved a new record high in terms of
sales. According to preliminary figures, Group revenues rose by 24 percent to
roughly EUR 360 million (previous year: EUR 290 million). Therewith SHW could
boost its revenues by more than a half in the past two years. This increase is
attributable to a large number of production start-ups and the sales growth
achieved by the company´s customers.

"The fourth quarter of 2011 saw very dynamic growth in incoming orders as well.
With this tailwind we can make a good start into the first quarter of 2012,"
said Dr. Wolfgang Krause, CEO of SHW AG. "We are well positioned for the
future, as our products essentially contribute to the necessary reduction of
CO2 emissions of motor vehicles".

Detailed information on the fiscal year 2011 will be published on 27 March
2012.
