HERMETIC and LEDERLE will merge

With effect from 1 March 2007 HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH and LEDERLE GmbH Pumpen- und Maschinenfabrik will merge.

HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH is on the path to expansion. The growth in orders and in the number of global framework agreements in all of HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH’s areas of business activity, which emerged in 2005, continued in 2006. The order income in 2006 increased about 32,7%.

We are pleased to accept these forward-looking challenges and have already implemented some first steps by increasing production capacity and by investing 3 million Euros in modern manufacturing technologies and production processes. In qualitative and synergy terms, the decision of both companies, HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH and LEDERLE GmbH Pumpen- und Maschinenfabrik, to merge their operations with effect from 1 March 2007 puts a gloss on this strategic direction.

Thus we are bundling our common experience and activities in HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH to fit this consistent and customer-oriented direction. With a higher level of vertical manufacturing integration and expansion of capacity, we are now in a position to offer you state-of-the-art technology and premium quality for an extended product range from a single source. In future HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH can supply you with centrifugal, displacement and vacuum pumps and systems in a hermetic finish, with a choice of canned motor, magnetic drive or also mechanical seals.

The Sales, Technical Office and Project Purchasing departments of LEDERLE will in future form the vacuum and displacement pumps business unit within HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH, under the management of Mr. Christian Dahlke.

As a long-established family-owned company, we will continue to be your expert, reliable and steady partner in all our areas of business in the future. We guarantee you continuity both in the way we work together as well as in the management of the company.

Your contacts both at our headquarters in Gundelfingen and at our German and international sales branches will remain the same.

This change does not affect existing contracts and agreements. We would like to request you to address all correspondence with both companies to HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH, with effect from 01.03.2007. HERMETIC-Pumpen GmbH shall assume all the rights and obligations of LEDERLE GmbH Pumpen- und Maschinenfabrik.
