Our development of talented people is topped off with the Eugen-<strong>Siempelkamp</strong>-Foundation. This<br />
foundation supports young engineers and skilled workers within the scope of a development and<br />
foundation program and, in this way, rewards outstanding performances. <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> pays the<br />
tuition fees for up-and-coming talented people who have decided for dual training, an especially<br />
diverse qualifi cation. This develops the long-term association of important resources to our company.<br />
Wood-based materials industry<br />
Just as in many other industrial sectors, in the wood-based materials industry the fi rst six months<br />
in <strong>2009</strong> were characterized by a wait-and-see attitude. In light of the global economic situation,<br />
hardly any business made large investments. In the second half of <strong>2009</strong>, the investment climate<br />
revived. Although the extent of the investments did not reach the highs of the previous years, this<br />
was a pleasing trend.<br />
We primarily recorded a stable growth in our South American markets. Brazil was a driving force<br />
due to the consolidation tendencies in the country. The Big Players in the wood-based materials<br />
industry repositioned themselves. In June <strong>2009</strong> the Chilean Arauco company expanded its market<br />
shares by acquiring the Brazilian plant Tafi sa/Pien. Duratex S. A. and Satipel Industrial S. A. merged<br />
to one company. Thus, they formed the largest wood-based material manufacturer in South America,<br />
of which the punch on the market is immense. In the course of <strong>2009</strong> it became apparent for<br />
<strong>Siempelkamp</strong> that the waiting period in South America had come to an end. Masisa in Chile<br />
commissioned us with a modifi cation project and Cuyoplacas in Argentina announced a new<br />
particleboard plant.<br />
