BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY:

Kleemann was established in 1983 as Kleemann Hellas SA after a contract for transfer of know-
how from the German-based Kleemann Hubtechnik GmbH. In 2001, Kleemann had a joint
venture with Fermator S.A. as means of Fermator's production expansion to Greece. In 2002,
the company began manufacturing new elevator cabs and their own machine roomless
elevators.
Kleemann is a Greek multinational elevator company founded in 1983. Based on the know-how
and license of KLEEMANN HUBTECHNIK GmbH, nowadays it operates both in the
manufacturing and the trading of elevators, mostly for third-party elevator installation and
maintenance companies (similar practice to Spanish Orona). The head office is based in Kilkis,
Northern Greece, with offices and subsidiaries in 10 territories serving more than 90 countries
worldwide.

Its marketing slogan is Your 1st Choice in Lifts.

Its main target markets are its domestic (Greece) and various developing countries, in which
investors and building owners didn't have enough money to buy elevators from major
manufacturers, instead prefering products of such companies as Kleemann. It operates in major
and developped markets as well, for example opening its self-owned sales and distribution
subsidiary in UK in 2012. Also, company's direction appeared in various major media outlets,
such as BBC and CNBC, especially to promote its international expansion.
