Dear aquatherm partner,

Also in the new year we would like to inform you about news from the aquatherm world.

We are particularly proud of the award as „World Market Leader 2018“. And we have more good news to announce: Our machine park has grown. Since the beginning of December, a new injection molding machine at the Attendorn site has been producing large-sized parts from 90 to 250 mm.

aquatherm products can be found in soccer stadiums around the world, including Qatar, where preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup are in full swing. Learn more about the use of our piping systems and the on-site construction progress. Finally, we will inform you about our participation in fairs in 2019.

Enjoy reading!

AQUATHERM AGAIN NUMBER ONE IN THE INDUSTRY: ATTENDORNER COMPANY HONORED AS „WORLD MARKET LEADER 2018“

aquatherm is one of the world‘s leading companies - offi - cially. The manufacturer of polypropylene piping systems headquartered in Attendorn was once again listed in the world market leader index of the Henri B. Meier Entrepre- neurial School of the University of St. Gallen and the Aca- demy of German World Market Leaders (ADWM). Since 2016, the family business has been represented there.

There are up to 1500 world market leaders in Germany - but not every company deserves the title, states Prof. Dr. med. Christoph Müller from the HBM Entrepreneurship School, which is part of the University of St. Gallen. For this reason, he sets strict criteria that must be met in order to obtain a place in the world market leader index of the prestigious university. These include at least 50 percent ownership management in Germany, Austria or Switzer- land, activities on at least three out of six continents with own production and / or sales companies, annual sales of at least 50 million euros, market leadership as No. 1 or No. 2 in the relevant world market segment, and an export share of at least 50 percent of sales. Christof, Maik and Dirk Rosenberg (from left) manage the family business aquatherm and are pleased to be listed in the world market leader index. aquatherm, which has branches in Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, USA and Canada, fully meets the criteria together with 450 other companies and can call itself „world market leader 2018“ in the fi eld of polypro- pylene piping systems. „The listing in the world market leader index is a great honor for us,“ says Christof Rosenberg, who runs the family business together with his brothers Dirk and Maik. „It encourages us to continue to work hard and to expand our pioneering role.“ Edition No. 1 2019 | 7th January 2019

AQUATHERM IS PART OF THE WORLD CUP PRODUCTS ALREADY INSTALLED IN THREE STADIUMS IN QATAR

Preparations for the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar are in full swing. aquatherm is in the midst of it and has already instal- led its products in three soccer stadiums.

The Khalifa International Stadium in Qatar‘s capital Doha has already been renovated: it now offers space for 40,000 visitors and was equipped with aquatherm green pipe in the dimensions of 20 to 250 mm in the area of drinking water supply and public facilities.

The Al Bayt Stadium will be rebuilt in Al Khor, about 50 kilo- meters north of Doha. Here aquatherm green pipe was instal- led as well, in this case in the dimensions 20-355 mm. And also in the Ras Abu Aboud Stadium, also in Doha, the entire drinking water supply is realized with aquatherm pipes. Ano- ther sports facility, the Lusail Iconic Stadium, will be equip- ped with aquatherm blue pipe for refrigeration in addition to aquatherm green pipe.

Volker Köhler, aquatherm Sales Area Manager for Africa and the Middle East, got a fi rst impression of the construction work on site: „I am very satisfi ed with the results so far and I am convinced that the 2022 World Cup will be a very special event.“ Volker Köhler has visited the Al Bayt Stadium to get a picture of the construction work.
