Bochum, March 9, 2009 - GEA Group presents innovative and leading
processing technologies for the food industry at the Anuga FoodTec trade
fair from March 10 through March 13, 2009 in Cologne, Germany. The GEA
Group technologies will spread out over a total floor space of 1,000 m2.
Anuga FoodTec is the world's leading trade fair for technology providers to
the food and beverage sectors.

GEA Niro's 'DRYNETICS' project is one of this year's highlights at the GEA
booth. The project allows for the development of improved spray dryers as
well as the optimization of existing equipment by a more precise recording
of the efficiency. In this regard, the trade fair will provide an
opportunity to experience firsthand how liquids are spray dried. GEA TDS
will also demonstrate a pilot UHT pasteurization plant, and a
groundbreaking processing technology for the production and treatment of
extended shelf life (ESL) milk. This technology allows unpasteurized milk
to be kept for at least 21 days at temperatures below 8°C. GEA Tuchenhagen
is presenting a new series of T-smart valves and its VARIPURE cleaners for
vessels and tanks, which can be used in different areas of the food and
beverage industries. Furthermore GEA Westfalia Separator will showcase a
large selection of separation technology for the dairy industry.

GEA Group will also present itself at the ISH trade fair. This
international trade fair for sanitary, building, energy, and air
conditioning technologies as well as renewable energy sources is held in
Frankfurt am Main between March 10 and March 14. Various GEA companies will
present product innovations and improvements for ventilation and air
conditioning. This year's GEA trade fair presence will center entirely on
energy efficiency: 'Feel the green difference'. Consequently, low resource
consumption and minimal environmental impact are the key characteristics of
the trade fair highlights of GEA.

Visitors can find out more about the new products and further innovations
in Hall 4.1 at the Anuga FoodTec, and at the GEA Air Treatment stand in
Hall 5.0 at the ISH.
