During today’s shareholder meeting, held on the new premises of the company, the Executive Board informed the shareholders of the 2009 company results.

The sales volume dropped by 37 %. However, considering last years world economic situation, the net operating profit after taxes with 922,000 Euros was acceptable.

As part of last years investment program, new employees were strategically positioned and the existing employees were further qualified. At the end of 2008 the Executive Board gave an employment guarantee and a renouncement of short- time work. In the meantime this guarantee has been extended until the end of 2011.

The shareholders meeting took place in a new building at the Unna site. Following the shareholders meeting, all employees and shareholders inaugurated the new building before leaving it to its final utilisation.

The current situation in 2010 is very positive. Order income and production have not quite reached the level before the crisis, but, after all, 25 % above budget for 2010. As the operating results are also significantly improving, the Executive Board can give a positive forecast for this year.

Good news for the shareholders of the Company. On proposal of the shareholders it has been decided, not only due to the general improvement of the companies’ position, to pay a dividend of 1,88 Euro per share. This makes a total of 1,95 Million Euro for fiscal year 2009.

There have been personnel changes in the Supervisory Board. Karl Römer, former chairman of the works committee and board member will retire and was replaced by the new chairman of the works committee Hans Siebenhühner. The board member Michael Garnebode is leaving at his own wish and is being replaced by Andreas Wiese.

We would like to thank all former board members for their committed and successful assisting and wish the newly elected members of the supervisory board success with their new task.

After a drastic decline in sales due to the banking crisis in 2009, we have recognized a noticeable increase of customer demand for our products in the first six months of 2010. As part of the continuously high order income from January to June 2010, the degree of capacity utilisation rose considerably. In order to still offer our customers delivery times in an acceptable time frame, Aluminiumwerk Unna AG has reacted to this increasing demand by creating elaborate shift plans and an equal utilisation of all extrusion presses.

Despite of all taken actions it may still be possible that not all required delivery dates can be confirmed.Particularly in view of the 2nd half of 2010, the permanent surge in demand can lead to longer delivery times. Therefore we kindly ask our customers to support our order processing by giving us long term order schedules.

We are pleased that our products are becoming more and more attractive to our customers and we appreciate the confidence shown to us.

Countdown to this years aluminium trade fair from 14th to 16th September in Essen.

Within the next few days our customers will receive their personal trade fair invitations via email. Thereupon they can simply order their free entrance tickets through an integrated link.

Aluminiumwerk Unna AG continues its success at the 6th AOK Company run in Unna. Once again the employees of Aluminiumwerk Unna AG field the largest team with 248 runners. The organisers of the Company Run were able to achieve new records and not only with the number of participants. Spurred on by last years company run some staff members trained hard resulting in new personal records for this years run. Thanks to the beautiful weather the remainder of the day was spent in the circle of the other teams with cold drinks and Bratwurst.

We are already looking forward to the next year!

At the end of May a fascinating series of films will appear on top of the famous U- Tower in Dortmund. Last year a camera crew visited our plant and filmed the spectacular process of tube quenching at the 13 m high vertical oven. This was then assimilated by the renown artist Adolf Winkelmann into a unique film sequence which can be visited as part of the major event Ruhr 2010- European Capital of Culture from May 28th in Dortmund.

The film from the plant can be seen on the facade of the building high above the rooftops of Dortmund.

Once again we are taking the opportunity to present ourselves at this years fair in Essen which is taking place from September 14th to 16th. We are looking forward to welcoming you. You will find the ALUnna Team at Stand 3M50 in Hall 3.
Do you want an appointment, perhaps combined with a plant tour in Unna? If so, please let your usual contact know in good time.

After last years successful participation at the AOK Company Run, this years attendance was early decided.
Equipped with a new tricot we will try to exceed last years record of 237 runners from ALUnna.
We wish all participants good luck, and would like to welcome all family and friends to come and support us.

Our Head of Technology Mr. Dieter Langhorst has recently left for his well earned retirement after 15 successful years in the company. We thank him for his many contributions and his commitment to the company. Mr. Langhorst set the course for a successful product development in our company and has left his indelible mark in Unna. We wish him success, happiness and health in his future endeavours. Our employees Terry Layton, Malte Hollmann, Gregor Kausträter und Gerhard Schroeder will take over the tasks in the field of technology. We wish them success with their new task.

Today Aluminiumwerk Unna AG are celebrating the tenth anniversary of the transfer of the shares from the Austrian company AMAG to the employees of Aluminiumwerk Unna (Thomas Wiese with 72,7%, employees represented by Aluminiumwerk Unna e.V. with 25,1 %).

Starting more as an experiment in 2000, Aluminiumwerk Unna AG can now be counted to one of the leading producers of high-class aluminium tubes.
The board of directors thank their employees, customers and suppliers for the confidence they have shown in the company.

Early last year the company presented their current investment plan.
By 2014 / 2015 the company will be in a position to fulfil all customers’ requirements in a timely manner, even in times of peak demand.

In order to increase the portion of self-financed investment, by the 6th January 2010 the company sold their own shares which it possessed.
After the investment plan announcement there was no further need to keep acquisition currency for use in takeovers or mergers.

The Aluminiumwerk Unna AG board of directors can provide some information to the provisional results for the financial year 2009.
The turnover is approximately on third less than last year’s value.
The banking crisis has also taken its toll on Aluminiumwerk Unna AG.
Towards the end of 2008 the company had already guaranteed to keep all personnel employed during 2009 and 2010. Hence the results for 2009 will be slightly negative.

The current economic condition can be described as stable on a very low level.
With a slight increase in turnover we are planning to break- even in 2010.
Due to the problems many companies have financing their Circulating assets and new infrastructure projects; we cannot yet foresee a quick recovery in our consumer markets.

The depression isn’t over yet, so we must show great care in our operational business.

We first expect a clear increase in demand during 2011.
