Treofan to make significant investment in Treo-Pore(R) capacity

Raunheim, 3 August, 2011 – Treofan Group, a global leader in high-end BOPP
films, is making a significant investment in boosting capacity for its
pioneering Treo-Pore(R) Separator Membrane product line, used in batteries,
EDLC Ultracapacitors and Filtration. With this investment, Treofan is
aiming to meet a surge in global demand for high-end power transmission and
battery applications, especially in the automotive and electrical
industries.

–We designed Treo-Pore(R) to reach new performance levels in separator
weight, durability, and to cover a wide range of applications and operating
temperatures – it–s a dramatic improvement in every way,– said Oliver
Dirmeier, Global Business Manager, Technical Films&New Business. –This
investment will allow us to produce many times over what we can produce
today and is thus a huge step towards becoming the global leader in this
fast-growing and demanding industry.–

Combining Dry&Wet process technologies, Treofan has created a completely
new membrane structure for its products: delivering high porosity, low
Gurley values, a nano-size 3D porous structure and superior puncture
resistance. The new generation of separator membranes reduces charging
losses and improves efficiency and safety, cutting both end-user costs and
CO2 emissions.

Treofan has already started preparations for the expansion of its
Treo-Pore(R) capacity, with completion expected by the end of 2012. The
investment will focus on building an additional production line, which will
have significantly higher output than the existing line.
