3 ABOUT US Over 90 million meters of stainless steel tubes per year Tradition and modernity go hand in hand at Schoeller Werk. Since 1827, this strong family company from Hellenthal in the Eifel Mountains has stood for competency, reliability and innovation. As experts in the manufacturing of longitudinally welded stainless steel tubes, Schoeller Werk offers customers across the world a diverse spectrum of products from the standard and Generations of families work at premium range. This includes TIG- and laser welded Schoeller Werk and we re proud of stainless steel tubes as well as re-drawn precision tubes that fact. Their years of experience and in straight manufacturing and fixed lengths. expertise account for our company s Within the premium range, the tube products are distinguished by their deformation degree, and their main strengths. resistance to both heat and corrosion. Frank Poschen, Managing Director With the zero-error philosophy for quality requirements, over employees ensure high product quality on a permanent basis and a reliable provision of services. Customers at Schoeller Werk get everything from under the one roof: from the technical consultation, the application-specific product development and tube manufacturing, to quality assurance which fully meets the requirements and individual logistics services. The typical areas of application for our tubes include the automotive industry, apparatus engineering, construction industry, chemical industry, refrigeration and air conditioning technology, power plants, medical technology, food and beverage industry, sea water desalination plants, and even offshore-applications. 3

4 PRODUCT PORTFOLIO Wide product range for every requirement Schoeller Werk s product range is unique on the European market because of its diversity. This covers a broad spectrum: from calibrated, unannealed standard tubes in manufacturing lengths, to annealed and redrawn precision tubes with further processing, to components in fixed lengths and defined machining of the tube ends. This trend-setting company continually develops its system technology and its product range according to customer requirements and market demands. The foundation for our excellent product quality is our use of high-performance machinery, our longtime experienced and qualified staff, and our comprehensive quality management. 4 Our high-quality stainless steel tubes are developed in conjunction with the customer the tube specialist adjusts the individual measurements and models, as well as the materials, specifically for the application and according to the requirements of the customer.

6 AREA OF APPLICATION AU TOM OTIVE Premium tubes in the fast lane Longitudinally welded stainless steel tubes from Schoeller Werk contribute to the durability of component parts in millions of passenger cars and commercial vehicles across the world. Schoeller Werk works through the entire supply chain in close collaboration with our customers, and therefore guarantee a product quality that meets your requirements perfectly which is the prerequisite for a cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly component part. Whether dynamic pulsation pressure in a common rail system for petrol engines, or high temperature resistance for tubes in glow plugs in diesel engines Schoeller Werk offers high-performance tube solutions which take trends in lightweight 6 construction, increased efficiency levels and customer requirements into account. As well as this, we aim to produce permanently functional, high-quality technologies, such as for tubes used in exhaust recirculation systems and injectors in injector systems. Schoeller Werk contributes effectively to increasing the performance of our applications, as well as decreasing fuel consumption and harmful emissions in the production of our welded and redrawn stainless steel tubes. As a certified supplier, Schoeller Werk is a steady partner for internationally operating OEMs, TIER 1 and TIER 2 suppliers.

7 Schoeller Werk s wide product range is deployed in many heavy-duty applications in the automotive industry, for example in Exhaust systems and brackets Exhaust gas recirculation systems (EGR) Injectors We combine first-class engineering, an in-depth understanding of the industry, and specialist consultation within the one company.

8 AREA OF APPLICATION ENERG Y Stainless steel tubes Powerhouses in the energy sector The operational safety and quality of TIG- and laser welded tubes is of the highest priority for the energy sector. This is particularly salient for applications in power plants, oil and gas extraction, shipbuilding and geothermal energy. Any defect will lead to a loss in energy and standstills, costly maintenance, and in the worst case, environmental damage. With a proven expertise and years of experience in tube manufacturing, Schoeller Werk offers its customers across the world an extensive range of high-quality and economical tube models made from stainless steel, duplex steel, nickel-based alloys and titanium. By carefully selecting the material and conscientious process management, Schoeller Werk optimizes its tube products specifically for the customer and the operating 8 conditions. For example, control line coiled tubing is welded using an orbital method and examined using x-ray technology. In this way, we achieve a very high welding seam quality which is necessary for application in large ocean depths in particular. Further criteria for control lines and chemical injection tubes are maximum roundness, and a minimum external and internal roughness. For these purposes, Schoeller Werk uses drawn over mandrel tubes the high tube quality and durability in application has impressed customers enough to use the product with their own specifications in oil and gas extraction. Expert knowledge that convinces: Schoeller Werk delivers its high quality stainless tube solutions in conventional and nuclear power plants worldwide. Since 1967 well-known companies of the energy industry are customers of Schoeller Werk.

9 Typical areas of application in the energy sector: OIL AND GAS Control Lines (extruded/polished) Chemical Injection Lines (extruded/polished) All Schoeller Werk products reliably withstand the heat and pressure, as well as the corrosive media and surroundings, which all tubes in the energy sector are exposed to. Using the most modern inspection methods, as tube manufacturers, we ensure that the strictest standards for residual particles in the tube, as well as the most narrow dimensional tolerances, are adhered to. As a result, Schoeller Werk premium tubes contribute effectively to process efficiency and reduced Co² emissions during energy production and this at an outstanding price performance ratio.

10 AREA OF APPLICATION I N D U ST R Y Custom solutions for complex industrial applications High-quality, longitudinally welded stainless steel tubes are indispensable anywhere industry component parts must withstand high pressure reliably. The highest corrosion resistance, functionality and process reliability are among the central requirements. In particular, in sensitive areas of application such as medical engineering, process technology, the food and drink industry and chemicals industry, Schoeller Werk tubes prove themselves effective. The most modern production and inspection technologies ensure the most narrow geometrical tolerances, a clean surface and quality-conformant material properties for a consistently high, reproducible quality and competitive prices. Together with customers and raw material suppliers, Schoeller Werk develops custom solutions for TIG- and laser welding to improve quality-conformant components for a competitive edge: from surgical instruments, fine tubing parts for fastening technology and integral pressure vessels in apparatus and plant engineering, to delicate parts for temperature and pressure gauges and high-quality lances for cleaning machines. 10
