Bobst buys Fischer & Krecke

This planned acquisition is in line with the
strategy of Bobst Group to expand its activities in the flexible materials
industry. It is expected to provide a major boost to Fischer & Krecke
products, primarily through the marketing and distribution muscle of the Bobst
Group.

The main manufacturing activities of the Fischer & Krecke Group are located
in Germany. Net sales totalled Euro73m in 2006. The number of employees is
approximately 370. Fischer & Krecke Group offers its customers flexographic
printing presses under the brand name Fischer & Krecke and rotogravure
printing presses under the brand name Kochsiek.

Bobst Group is a leading supplier of equipment and services for the folding
carton, corrugated board and flexible materials industries. Its wide range of
products, manufactured in various countries, is marketed through a dedicated
sales and service network with offices in more than 30 countries, including
Australia. Customers here include the likes of Visy, who last year installed a 2.8m wide eight colour F&K flexo press.
