AD HOC ANNOUCEMENT PURSUANT TO Section15 WPHG

                       LPKF enters solar technology market

LPKF Laser & Electronics AG in Garbsen/Germany now sells laser systems  for  the
structuring of thin film solar cells to enter the strongly growing  photovoltaic
market. First orders are already being processed.

The systems are being developed in  close  co-operation  with  a  subsidiary  in
Suhl/Germany LPKF Motion & Control. The system bears the  trademark  LPKFSolar.
This move will also further reduce the Group's dependence on the cycles  of  the
electronics market.

LPKF Laser & Electronics AG shares are quoted  in  the  Prime  Standard  of  the
Frankfurt stock exchange (ISIN 0006450000).
