Annual report 2009 - Siempelkamp

Products that are well-known in the market are important for the success of a
company. Also important is the internationalization of our company. Certifi cations
contribute highly to this area.
Our successful ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) accreditation
is very important in this aspect because it represents a key building block for sales
outside Europe. Furthermore, the consistent expansion of our range of containers
and casks also advances our sales activities.
ASME accreditation achieved in 2009
After more than a year of intensive work to meet the requirements
of the ASME quality control handbook, at the end of 2009, the
Siempelkamp ASME Team successfully achieved ASME accreditation
without any deviations or fi ndings. In the future, orders can be
processed in accordance with the ASME requirements and the
resulting manufactured products can be identifi ed as ASME
compliant with the registered mark on the manufacturer’s
identifi cation plate.

MOSAIK ® container
Expanded range of casks and containers
With the closing of further license contracts in September 2009
between Siempelkamp and the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology
(KIT), we now offer additional container designs which are necessary
for the removal of radioactive waste materials in the ultimate
Konrad storage. Depending on the requirement, these containers
can be produced with the addition of low-level radioactive waste.
In this way, Siempelkamp saves resources by recycling leftover
materials. For 2010 we expect a large order for more than 400
MOSAIK ® containers which will be used in the course of disposal
measures in Germany and dismantling projects in Great Britain.
