COPANY PRESENTATION – NOVEMBER 2011 / / OUR STRATEGY - INNOVATION<br />

•// HIGHLIGHTS OF INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP<br />

ServoDirect<br />

Technology<br />

� Maximum flexibility, high<br />

production rates and short<br />

changeover times for die and<br />

tooling<br />

� Slide motion characteristics<br />

adaptable to forming, die and<br />

automation<br />

� Improved throughput<br />

performance compared to<br />

conventional presses<br />

� Maintenance-friendly handling<br />

– flywheel, clutch and brake not<br />

required<br />

Innovation Efficiency<br />

Growth<br />

ICON V-Drive<br />

vertical can<br />

forming<br />

� Forming higher-strength alloys<br />

with the vertical drawn and wallironed<br />

(DWI) process<br />

� Saving raw material – higherstrength<br />

alloys enable thinner<br />

walled cans<br />

� Ability to use of 100% recyclable<br />

alloys<br />

� Simplified production – from disc<br />

straight to can<br />

� Low maintenance servo<br />

technology and shorter downtime<br />

through easy die changes<br />

Light-weight<br />

volume<br />

production<br />

� Only combination of processes<br />

and materials deliver results<br />

� <strong>Schuler</strong> is the only<br />

manufacturer for all production<br />

processes in this area<br />

� Aluminum forming<br />

� Cold forming of tensile<br />

steels<br />

� Pressure Controlled<br />

Hardening<br />

� Hydroforming<br />

� Plastic forming incl. Resin<br />

Transfer Moulding (RTM)<br />

for CFRP (carbon<br />

materials)<br />

COMPANY PRESENTATION – NOVEMBER 2011 / / OUR STRATEGY – GROWTH<br />

•// DRIVING GROWTH ACROSS THE PORTFOLIO<br />

� Expanding into other promising segments whilst<br />

maintaining a strong focus on the automotive<br />

sector (OEM; Tier 0.5; Tier 1-3)<br />

� Identification and definition of industry groups<br />

besides automotive with substantial growth<br />

potential (e.g. packaging, drives & generators)<br />

� Re-alignment of the sales force towards<br />

targeted growth industries<br />

� Diversification of customer base improves<br />

stability of the business and reduces cyclicality<br />

Diversify revenue growth and capitalize on<br />

opportunities beyond strong market position in<br />

automotives<br />

COMPANY PRESENTATION – NOVEMBER 2011 / / OUR STRATEGY – GROWTH<br />

•// DRIVING GROWTH THROUGH ENHANCED SERVICE OFFERING<br />

� Increasing importance of comprehensive “life cycle support” and<br />

“performance enhancement” for customer facilities offers<br />

substantial growth potential in high margin business<br />

� Capitalize on already installed product base of more than 20,000<br />

presses to leverage further opportunities to grow<br />

� Re-alignment of service offering during 2011 will help to capitalize<br />

on growth potential<br />

� Strengthening of local service entities while centralising overall<br />

functions such as spare part supply and logistics<br />

� 25 % of group revenue already service-related<br />

COMPANY PRESENTATION – NOVEMBER 2011 / / OUR STRATEGY – GROWTH<br />

•// CAPITALIZING ON EMERGING MARKETS DYNAMIC<br />

� Established production plants in Sao Paulo (Brazil)<br />

and Shanghai / Dalian (China)<br />

� Dominant market share in China (premium car<br />

manufacturers > 50%) (<strong>Schuler</strong> internal research)<br />

� <strong>Schuler</strong> is already the preferred partner of many local<br />

OEMs which recently outperformed international<br />

OEMs<br />

� Chinese automobile industry is expected to grow by<br />

8% p. a. on average until 2015, which translates into<br />

some 1 m new cars p. a. (IHS Global Insight)<br />

Innovation Efficiency<br />

<strong>Schuler</strong> is perfectly positioned to capture the dynamic growth deriving from<br />

Emerging Markets in Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Eastern Europe<br />

COMPANY PRESENTATION – NOVEMBER 2011 / / OUR STRATEGY – EFFICIENCY<br />

•// SCHULER PRESSEN GMBH AS THE NEW COMBINED POWER<br />

� Take-over of key competitor Müller Weingarten in 2007 to form undisputed world technology leader<br />

� Start of new growth and strategy programme “ZusammenWachsen” in early 2011 to fully integrate Müller<br />

Weingarten in the <strong>Schuler</strong> organisation and enhance efficiency as well as productivity<br />

� Global recession already led to a large scale of structural efficiency measures whilst successfully avoiding lay-offs of<br />

highly skilled workforce and the loss of knowledge<br />

� Centralisation and streamlining of all group wide procurement activities<br />

� Globalisation of supply chain<br />

� Identification of twin structures within the company<br />

� Implementation of platform strategy throughout the whole production<br />

<strong>Schuler</strong> expects further synergy potential !<br />
