MBB Industries Acquires the Reimelt Henschel Group

Revenue growth surpasses € 80 million

Berlin, Germany, 27 August 2007 – MBB Industries AG (German securities
identification number [WKN] A0ETBQ), an investment company that focuses on
mid-size industrial companies, today announced the acquisition of the
Reimelt Henschel Group, which is headquartered in Rödermark, Germany. The
Reimelt Henschel Group was sold by KERO. The parties agreed not to disclose
the sale price.

The 13 individual companies that make up the Reimelt Henschel Group produce
components and systems for handling and processing powdered and liquid raw
materials for the food and chemical industries. Reimelt, which was founded
in 1810, is a highly profitable group with 569 employees and consolidated
revenue of more than € 80 million. It maintains its own sales and service
companies in the United States, Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, and France,
as well as in Korea, Hong Kong, and China. The company's process technology
makes it the world market leader in the food industry.

This purchase of yet another mid-size niche market leader is a continuation
of MBB Industries' successful acquisition strategy. MBB's Management Board
believes that Reimelt Henschel's international orientation and the rising
demand for mechanical engineering provide an excellent basis for enhancing
the value of MBB's new acquisition in the long term. Consolidation of the
Reimelt Henschel Group as of 23 August 2007 will lift MBB Industries'
anticipated revenue for 2007 to more than € 100 million. With 1,841
employees, the MBB Group now posts revenue of more than € 160 million
annually. Solid liquidity will allow MBB Industries to make further
acquisitions even after its takeover of the Reimelt Henschel Group.

The investment bank, equinet AG, advised the seller in connection with this
transaction.
