Schwandorf/Corpus Christi (Texas, USA), 18 September 2008 – Nabaltec AG's
Nashtec production plant in the US has successfully completed its quality
management audit and has received certification under the ISO 9001:2000
standard from the Technical Control Association (TÜV) of Southern Germany.
This means, the production site in Corpus Christi (Texas, USA), like the
flagship plant in Schwandorf, meets the highest possible quality standards
set by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO).

'Thanks to Nashtec we have been the only company in the world since
November 2006 which can offer fine precipitated aluminum hydroxides in both
the US and Europe at an equally high quality at both production sites. We
are very pleased that this has now been officially documented by the TÜV
certification under ISO 9001:2000. At the same time, we take this
distinction as a challenge to continue meeting the high quality standards
demanded by our clients, as well as by ourselves,' says Gerhard Witzany,
Member of the Management Board of Nabaltec AG. The Corpus Christi plant is
currently operating at about 75% capacity, as planned. Nashtec was
completely spared by Hurrican Ike. Production was only stopped from Friday
to Sunday as a safety precaution. The plant went back online on Monday, 15
September 2008.


About Nabaltec AG
Nabaltec AG, with registered office in Schwandorf, a chemicals business
which has received multiple awards for innovativeness, manufactures,
develops and distributes highly specialized products based on aluminum
hydroxide ('ATH') and aluminum oxide, as well as other raw materials, on an
industrial scale through its 'Functional Fillers' and 'Technical Ceramics'
divisions. The company's product range includes flame retardant fillers for
the plastics industry, used e.g. in cables in tunnels, airports, high-rise
buildings and electronic devices, as well as base materials for use in
technical ceramics, the refractory industry and catalysis. Unlike
halogenated flame retardant fillers, the products manufactured by the
company's 'Functional Fillers' division contain no hazardous substances and
do not require separate disposal. Rather, the company's flame retardant
fillers actually decrease the development of fumes hazardous to human
health and the environment in the event of fire. Nabaltec maintains
production sites in Germany and the US. It aims to further consolidate its
market position by increasing capacity, continuing to optimize its
processes and product quality and strategic additions to its product range
and to secure the market leadership in each segment where its specialty
products are represented, in addition to qualitative leadership.
