Organization
The organizational structure of the Pfleiderer Group underwent significant changes in 2002,
following the adoption of its new corporate strategy. This has involved focusing on two core
Business Centers, Wood-Based Panels and Infrastructure Technology. The two other Business
Centers closely associated with the construction sector – Insulation Technology and Doors
and Windows – have been divested. In future, the Group’s remaining core organization, which
is divided into a holding company and two business centers, will be more closely orientated
toward functional management structures. Central service activities for internal and external
customers are currently bundled in Pfleiderer Service GmbH.

The new corporate strategy has also resulted in changes to the legal composition of the
Pfleiderer Group. In divesting the Doors and Windows Business Center, all companies in the
doors and windows operations were sold, except for one administration company. Sale of the
Company’s insulation technology operations resulted in divesting all shares in its foreign insulation
companies (including shares in a German affiliate). An exact breakdown of the Company’s
legal holdings is shown in the section listing the companies included in consolidation.
