Focus on gesture recognition systems for Chinese markets

Dortmund, Germany/ Hong Kong, China. ELMOS Semiconductor AG has signed a
distribution agreement with Hong Kong based company Technokey. It focuses
on the distribution of proximity and gesture recognition systems, with a
special emphasis on customers in the Chinese markets.

Technokey maintains six offices in China and Hong Kong. In addition,
Technokey is represented with further offices in Taiwan and Japan. The
distributor draws on the experience of more than 20 years in sales,
technical support, and logistics management.

'ELMOS is very happy to have Technokey as a distributor. Our patented
system for proximity and gesture recognition systems called HALIOS(R) has
been receiving positive customer feedback. We are convinced that together
with Technokey we will have great success with HALIOS(R) solutions in the
Asian market,' says Jürgen Höllisch, Management Board member of ELMOS
Semiconductor AG for Sales and Development. The HALIOS(R) principle offers
a globally unique way of detecting proximity and gestures. HALIOS(R)
solutions are extremely insensitive to external interferences such as light
or dirt.

'Technokey is proud to distribute ELMOS products in Greater China, as most
automotive customers need to upgrade and become more innovative with new
electronics design in order to maintain their competitiveness. This is
exactly what ELMOS is offering. Thanks to the great support provided by
ELMOS, Technokey is confident to create numerous sales opportunities in the
Greater China Area. Technokey will focus on HALIOS(R) products, including
applications for software and module development for the tablet, notebook
and smartphone markets. This way we will not only concentrate on automotive
but on the development of the consumer electronics markets for ELMOS as
well,' says Steve Ho, Managing Director of Technokey Co., Ltd.

ELMOS Semiconductor AG is a developer and manufacturer of system solutions
on semiconductor basis. For more than 25 years, our chips have made
automobiles as well as industrial and consumer goods more performance and
power efficient.
