• U.S. ARMY TO TAKE DELIVERY OF 170 VEHICLES WORTH USD 34.9 m • 26 TOP-OF-THE-RANGE AIR CRASH TENDERS FOR SPAIN

Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc.
  The issuer is responsible for the content of this announcement.
Following a stringent selection process, the US Army has awarded
Rosenbauer America a contract to supply 170 fire-fighting vehicles
worth a total of USD 34.9 m. The bulk of the production work on these
fire-fighters and emergency tenders will be carried out in the USA
and completed by the end of 2005.
Rosenbauer’s success story in the USA, the world’s biggest market for
fire-equipment, began in 1995 when the Group took a stake in General
Safety, an innovative manufacturer positioned - in terms of both
quality and price - at the top end of the market. The acquisition of
the municipal vehicle manufacturer Central States in 1998, and then
of the turntable-ladder and elevating-platform producer RK Aerials in
2000, turned Rosenbauer into a true "full-liner".
Now, less than 10 years later, the Group already produces more than
400 vehicles a year in the USA, giving it a market share of around
10% and putting it among the leading local manufacturers.
PANTHERS TO GO ON GUARD AT SPANISH AIRPORTS
At the same time as its success in the USA, Rosenbauer has won yet
another major international order, this time in Spain: Rosenbauer
International AG yesterday signed an agreement with the Spanish
airport operator and air-traffic control company AENA to supply 26
PANTHER air crash tenders with a total value of EUR 16.2 m.
The order is for two different top-of-the-range models of air crash
tender:
16 Panther 8x8's on MAN custom chassis
10 Panther 6x6's on Rosenbauer Motors chassis
The vehicles ordered are to be deployed at major international
airports such as Madrid and Barcelona as well as airports of holiday
destinations such as Palma de Mallorca, Las Palmas, Tenerife and
Malaga.
These two major orders take the volume of orders on hand in the
Rosenbauer Group to a new record level, paving the way for a highly
successful 2005.
