The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. ——————————————————————————– ElringKlinger Licenses New, Advanced, Types of Cylinderhead Gaskets ElringKlinger AG, Dettingen/Erms, Germany, a globally active supplier of gaskets, seals, shielding components, and engine-housing modules to the automotive industry, has concluded a licensing agreement with STE Dichtungstechnik GmbH, Wilhelmshaven, Germany, that signals the wave of the future. Under the terms of the agreement, ElringKlinger will receive an exclusive, worldwide, license to a new type of cylinderhead-gasket design developed and comprehensively patented by STE that promises to provide much better performance capabilities than are available under the current state of the art. Increasingly stringent demands by engine-development engineers on cylinderhead sealing systems have driven the technologies that have thus far been employed to the limits of their capabilities. According to ElringKlinger, the new gasket design significantly extends the engineering options available. The license also covers a revolutionary new coating for automotive gaskets that significantly extends their functionalities and service lives compared to those provided by the types of coatings that have thus far been employed. To ElringKlinger, this license represents a competitive advantage that will give the rapid growth of the ElringKlinger Group another boost. end of ad-hoc-announcement (c)DGAP 03.04.2003 ——————————————————————————– WKN: 785602; ISIN: DE0007856023; Index: Listed: Amtlicher Markt in Frankfurt (Prime Standard) und Stuttgart; Freiverkehr in Berlin-Bremen 031750 Apr 03
