Vossloh expands service portfolio in Northern Europe through acquisition of
Scandinavian Track Group (STG)

  * STG is a leading company in the fields of switch services and
    track-specific welding services in Sweden


  * The acquisition completes Vossloh's range of services and will cover the
    entire life cycle of switches in the future


  * The transaction represents a major step towards a circular economy and
    supports the Group's sustainability strategy


Werdohl, May 21, 2024. Vossloh signed an agreement with the owners of its
long-standing business partner Scandinavian Track Group (STG) to acquire the
group. STG is a renowned provider of a broad portfolio of services with a
sales focus on the fast-growing and strategically important Swedish rail
infrastructure market.

STG offers various maintenance services for the rail track. STG is the
market leader in Sweden for services relating to switches, such as their
installation or maintenance, as well as for sophisticated welding services
on the rail track. STG also offers a wide range of inspection consulting
services based on its extensive technical expertise.

The purchase and refurbishment of used switches and other track components
for resource-saving reuse completes STG's offering. The acquisition thus
fits seamlessly into Vossloh's sustainability strategy and expands the
service portfolio in the area of the circular economy. In the future,
Vossloh will be ideally positioned in this region to offer the complete
value chain of switches, from development and production to maintenance and
the reconditioning of used switches.

"STG fits perfectly to our portfolio, offers many synergies and strengthens
our position in the innovative Swedish and, in the long term, Scandinavian
market. The acquisition follows our one-stop-shop approach, according to
which we offer our customers tailor-made solutions across all divisions. In
this way, we can fully utilize our strengths, further differentiate
ourselves from the competition and offer our customers decisive added value
from a single source. We are particularly pleased to welcome STG, a
long-standing business partner, as a new member of the Vossloh family," says
Oliver Schuster, CEO of Vossloh AG.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in mid-2024 and is subject to
the approval of the transaction by the Swedish Competition Authority and the
Swedish Ministry of Economic Affairs. STG employs around 120 people,
generated the equivalent of EUR22.3 million in sales revenues in the 2023
financial year and will strengthen the Lifecycle Solutions division in
future.

Jan Furnivall, COO of Vossloh AG, comments: "I also warmly welcome the new
colleagues to Vossloh and am convinced that we can quickly grow together
into an even more powerful team thanks to our long-standing and successful
partnership. Our common goal is to provide our Scandinavian customers with
an even wider range of customized solutions for the life cycle of rails and
switches in the future."

Vossloh is already represented by various subsidiaries in Northern Europe.
The largest of these is Vossloh Nordic Switch Systems, which belongs to the
Customized Modules division and is based in Sweden. Here, more than 185
employees produce switch systems for the Scandinavian market and for export.
In addition, the subsidiary Vossloh Rail Services Scandinavia, based in
Örebro, Sweden, which is part of the Lifecycle Solutions division, provides
comprehensive services related to the maintenance of rails and switches. In
the 2023 financial year, Vossloh generated sales revenues of just under EUR140
million in Northern Europe. Vossloh expects demand in this market to
continue to rise in the future.
