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

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