Neumarkt, October 11, 2010 - The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board
of SDAX-listed Pfleiderer AG (ISIN DE 0006764749) have approved the
decision of the management of Business Center Western Europe to permanently
shut down the production plant in Gschwend, Germany. The reason for this
decision is the sharp decrease in demand for particleboard caused by the
recession, which is leading to structural adjustments in the industry. The
Gschwend plant has been on short-time work for the past 13 months due to
sustained operation at well below its optimum capacity. The closure will
burden earnings in the fourth quarter 2010 by a good 9 million euros.
