Garbsen (euro adhoc) - LPKF wins biggest order in its

                                 company history

                          Unbroken boom in MID segment

Garbsen, 9. September 2009 - With a major order of more than EUR 6 million for
laser systems for manufacturing three dimensional cellphone antennae, LPKF
announces the latest in a string of success reports released in recent months.
'This order, the biggest in our company history, marks the final breakthrough
into mass production of our MID technology,' says Chairman of the Board of
Managing Directors Dr. Ingo Bretthauer. He is also convinced that 'our
production method is establishing itself as the standard in specific sectors,
and will push aside alternative technologies.' The client is a major
international electronics Group.

In its search for new laser applications, LPKF has developed and patented the
LDS method since the 1990s. LDS stands for Laser Direct Structuring: a method
for the production of molded interconnect devices (MIDs) which are three
dimensional circuit carriers. Injection molded plastic components made of
special polymer granulates are first structured using a laser beam, before
undergoing a metallization process. Although the technology is primarily used
today for the production of smart phone antennae, Bretthauer sees more areas of
application in medical and security technologies, as well as in the automotive
sector.
