Garbsen (euro adhoc) - Hannover, 17 March, 2011 - The LPKF AG headquarters is
bursting at the seams.
The laser technology of the Garbsen machine builder is in such high demand
worldwide that the company hired more than 100 new employees during the past
two years. LPKF is now significantly expanding its space, adding a building and
combining the Garbsen development departments there.

'We were in the middle of planning a new building on our property when we
received an offer to purchase the building next door. So of course we seized
the opportunity. Now we just need to remodel and will be ready to move in this
June', states Dr. Ingo Bretthauer, CEO at LKPF Laser & Electronics AG. After
two extremely positive business years the corporate staff grew from 350 in 2009
to currently more than 470 employees - and LPKF continues to offer interesting
jobs for qualified workers.

The neighboring building purchased in January is currently being renovated and
connected with the company´s existing complex. So as of June this will give us
an additional 3,000 square meters (32,000 square feet) of space. LPKF will be
combining the R&D departments there and will be using the freed up space in the
old building for manufacturing laser systems. The investment amounts to about 5
million Euros.
