Duisburg, April 13, 2007 - The Namasco Corporation with headquarters 
in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, a country operation of Klöckner & Co 
Aktiengesellschaft, has signed a contract for acquisition of the 
distribution company Primary Steel LLC, whose headquarters are in 
Middletown, Connecticut, USA. The takeover is still subject to 
approval by the US Antitrust Division.
Primary Steel LLC is a steel distribution company with seven branches
in North America. The enterprise is specialized in the distribution 
and preprocessing of flat steel products, particularly plates. 
Primary Steel LLC has around 412 employees and achieved sales of $467
million in 2006.

activities on the US market with sales growth of more than 60 
percent. The strategic goal of further expanding the market position 
in North America is thus given a strong boost.
