LPKF has appointed a new Managing Director for LPKF France S.A.R.L., the French
subsidiary of LPKF Laser & Electronics AG in Garbsen/Germany, who will take over
business on 1 October 2007.

Michel Mezri Sandid, an engineer, will be responsible for running LPKF France in
Lisses from the beginning of October. The very promising Laser Plastic Welding
and 3D-MID segments in particular are to be strengthened in the French market.
'Michel Sandid is just the man for the job here because of his excellent
contacts,' emphasised Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors Bernd
Hackmann. 'The company benefits from his many years of broad experience in the
automotive subcontracting sector in particular.' This market is very well
positioned in France, and is the focus of the boosted distribution activities
implemented by LPKF AG to lift the turnover of its French subsidiary. 

LPKF Laser & Electronics AG is a specialist with a worldwide reputation for
laser technology, laser machining, and drive technology. The company develops
and distributes systems used in electronics manufacturing, the automotive
industry and the production of solar cells. 80 per cent of its turnover is from
exports. The company has approx. 300 staff around the world.
