Ziegler ”New Horizons” – a complete Success (S. Häußler) Ziegler New Horizons – one week, one group, one brand, one goal. From April 7 to 12, 2014 Albert Ziegler GmbH welcomed about 4,000 visitors from more than 40 countries at the headquarter in Giengen. The content of this in-house exhibition was organized by the whole Ziegler group of companies and resulted in an extensive presentation by means of 13 “demonstration islands” and three adventures, such as an offroad test drive, a tour of the manufacturing facilities and a visit to the new company museum. On the tour of the islands the diversity, flexibility and above all the German quality of the fire vehicles and other products were shown.

Through the presentation of the new strong parent company CIMC and the many production and sales locations in Germany and abroad, a growing global and holistic Ziegler group can be felt through the look in the eyes of our employees. The daily programme was tailored to the individual visitors.

On Monday – and for the first time in the history of Ziegler - all executives and many employees of the Ziegler production and sales locations met to experience their new identity. On the following day our national and international partners were our special guests and in the middle of the week the Ziegler New Horizons was host to our important international customers.

The main German VIPs from the firefighting authorities and associations enjoyed their tour of the islands in small groups on Thursday.

On Friday – open doors day - fire services from all over Germany invaded the new world of Ziegler with great enthusiasm and curiosity.

And then on Saturday families and friends of Albert Ziegler GmbH were invited to experience New Horizons and were convinced, now we truly are: One group, one brand, one goal.

Further pictures from this event can be found on our web site www.ziegler.de under New Horizons. User name: newhorizons Password: ziegler2014 Have fun during browsing! _____________________________________ A letter from Ziegler Rendsburg about “New Horizons“ (H. Hagge) Having used about 1,200 l of Diesel, driven about 10,000 km (with 4 fire service vehicles, 2 passenger cars, and 2 vans), having given assistance at an accident and after more than 500 working hours, having worked through two weekends, hurting legs for 8 days, a lot of presentations and some nights with hardly any sleep ….. we would like to say THANK YOU! We had a marvelous time with our colleagues from all over the world. This means: One company, one brand, one goal! The Ziegler group of companies has taken a great step forward and we are very proud to be part of it!

The Historical Exhibition is here to stay (P. Thompson)

A star attraction during „New Horizons“ was the brand new Ziegler Museum. This exhibition offers visitors the possibility to learn details about the tradition and heritage of the brand Ziegler, through the 123 year history of the company. Dr. Li said in December of last year: “People who do not know the history, cannot understand the identity. And people who do not understand the identity, cannot realize the potential.” He asked that a small museum be prepared in time for New Horizons and it turned out to be one of the real highlights of our week long event. The reaction was so overwhelmingly positive, Dr. Li decided this museum will remain open, as is, and be made available to all Ziegler employees. You are welcome to use this exhibition. Any visitors can be shown our museum and this includes suppliers, customers, partners and school classes etc. Our company museum is a tool to be used to enhance the image of our brand. Please use it. The key can be picked up at the front entry guard post. Before taking the guests inside you should enter the museum from the back, and turn on the lights, music, and sound effects so that when you pick up your guests through the front door, the museum will be ready to receive them. A leaflet with important information and answers to organizational issues will be published by the marketing department shortly.

A warm Thank you to the experienced retirees who returned during New Horizons to man the museum! (K.-H.Winkler)

At New horizons Mr. Jürgen Dorn, Jörg Hitzler, Heinz Nuiding and Richard Diemer supported us in the museum with their rich knowledge.

ZIEGLER at MAN Trucknology Days 2014 (H. Mayr) This year the MAN Trucknology Days took place in bright sunshine on March 20 and 21 at the MAN Forum and the adjacent testing ground in Munich. With a huge crowd of approx. 10,000 visitors the interest has never been greater. The EURO 6 was presented as a special novelty. Aside from Ziegler only one other manufacturer introduced a superstructure on Euro 6. Ziegler was strongly represented with the following vehicles: HLF 10 all-wheel-drive, demonstration vehicle HLF 20 all-wheel-drive with Euro 6, demonstration vehicle Z8 ARFF vehicle, Munich airport Our customers as well as competitors showed great interest in our new Z-Cab on Euro 6 chassis and as expected there were many questions. Our TOP Integro and the new design on the Euro 6 chassis attracted the most attention. A competitor commented: “Wow! You guys have really set the bar high. Compliments, this truck is a beauty.” It was not surprising that the newly designed truck was photographed over and over again. Our high-quality construction could, as usual, convince the experts of our premium quality. And for many visitors the Z8 from the Munich airport was a real eyecatcher. The Ziegler team had many interesting discussions with the customers and established many new contacts. _____________________________________

Delivery of 5 TLFs 30/40-6 to South East Europe (A. Konakci) In March of this year five further pumper tanker trucks TLF 30/40-5 were delivered to South East Europe. Our subsidiary Ziegler Croatia built these vehicles. The customer bought 29 vehicles of this type in 2010 and 2011 and they are very satisfied with the performance and reliability of the Ziegler vehicles, which are used daily. Also this order proves that the customer relies on the solid workmanship and robust reliability of our vehicles.

South Europe continues to rely on Ziegler quality (A. Konakci) Once more the high customer satisfaction is reflected in the orders for a total of 7 TLFs, which we received in March 2014 from South East Europe. 5 TLFs 20/25-2 on MB U 500 for a planned delivery in the Summer of 2014 as well as 2 TLFs 30/20-5 on MB U 400 (railroad vehicles) for delivery in Autumn 2014.

______________________________________ Caucasus order for 2 pump units (A. Konakci) Ziegler has received an order for the delivery of two pump units FPN 10-3000-1A. Pump performance 3,000 l/min. The pump units will be delivered together with fire fighting accessories. This customer has purchased several fire service vehicles from Ziegler during the last few years and relies on Ziegler, a synonym for robust reliability. ______________________________________ Delivery of 3 MGV power blowers (A. Konakci) In February, 2014 we delivered three MGV power blowers on MB Sprinter 516 CDI to South East Europe. The mobile blowers were built by our subsidiary Ziegler Mühlau and the customer is very impressed by the performance of these units. They are used for the safety of the city dwellers and are characterized by high reliability and strength. ______________________________________

Dr. Li visits German fire brigades from Munich to Rendsburg (H. Mayr) March 31, 2014 The tour started at Fraport in Frankfurt, the largest German airport, to discuss the structure and requirements of an airport fire brigade with the chief of the Fraport fire brigade Christian Hahn and his deputy Markus Metzler. At this opportunity they also viewed our 6 Z8XXL and the airport facilities. In the afternoon Dr. Li visited the Ministry of the Interior of Hessen in Wiesbaden, to meet Mr. Milberg, the Ministerial Director, and his staff. At present Ziegler is building 50 LF KatS for the state of Hessen and the ministry is very pleased with the design and ontime delivery.

April, 1, 2014 We visited BAAINBw (Federal Office of the German Army Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support) in Koblenz. The Bundeswehr was our largest customer in Germany last year and are planning extensive investments in the future. Dr. Li met the responsible officials and expressed his thanks for their trust in our company. In the afternoon we travelled to Rendsburg and met the president of DFV (Association of German Firefighting Departments), Hans-Peter Kröger. The DFV coordinates and represents the interests of approx. 1.3 million fire fighters in Germany. Most of them belong to volunteer fire brigades.

DFV President Kröger with Dr. Li. April 2, 2014 Dr. Li visited our subsidiary in Rendsburg and addressed the staff, who highly appreciated the visit and especially Dr. Li’s personal address which gave them confidence for the future. The tour continued to Hamburg, to the second largest professional fire brigade in Germany, to explain the new orientation of Ziegler personally to Klaus Maurer, the Commander and Firefighting Chief.

April 3, 2014: Expert engineering consulting companies who assist communities and fire brigades in purchasing firefighting vehicles are increasingly used and are important contacts for Ziegler. Therefore, we paid a visit to the KWL in Hannover. KWL has been coordinating tender acquisitions for communities for almost 20 years. After that we met Dr. Martin Schäfer, Firefighting Chief at the professional fire brigade in Göttingen. He, together with Ziegler, has designed and then bought 3 HLFs on Econic since 2000.

April 4, 2014-06-14 To gain a good understanding of all types of our customers, we then visited a volunteer fire brigade. At the fire station in Heidenheim not only Rainer Spahr, Firefighting Chief, but also the mayor of Heidenheim, Bernhard Ilg, and George Feth from the district office came to meet Dr. Li to learn first-hand about the reorientation of the Ziegler Group. The volunteer fire brigades are important customers to Ziegler. They have the largest market share of fire trucks and equipment in Germany. Dr. Li’s tour ended in Munich at the second largest airport in Germany and a special highlight for Dr. Li was a high speed ride in our Z8 during which he truly experienced the full power of this vehicle. Dr. Li later commented that “he was really pressed down into his seat”.

Conclusion: Dr. Li now knows the structures of the fire service in Germany and he has gotten to personally know the key VIPs of the German firefighting industry. He also had the opportunity to hold very important discussions. He successfully conveyed what CIMC’s plans are with Ziegler, namely to build it up into one of the world’s leading firefighting and rescue companies with its HQ in Germany. The customers highly appreciated his visit and welcomed the start of a new era for Ziegler. In figures: 10 important meetings in Germany and 2,400 km by car in one week. ______________________________________ A demonstration of the highest quality (M. Schweitzer)

On April 17, 2014 Gerhard Müller and Michael Schweitzer held a very special demonstration. We were invited to Marktoberdorf by the leading manufacturer of tractors, Fendt, and showed our new product to the factory fire brigade. Both Fendt and Ziegler advertise their premium quality, and the participants were quickly very enthusiastic about our vehicle. In particular the workmanship and detail solutions were praised by the experts. The Fendt slogan: “Whoever drives a Fendt, leads” was changed to “Whoever drives Fendt and Ziegler, leads. We provide safety.” The purchaser of the fire service equipment was very enthusiastic about our common identity based on robust reliable German quality. We are very confident and hope for an order from Marktoberdorf. The first Holmatro complete set sold

We have sold the first Holmatro complete rescue set. The success was based on the teamwork of Beyerle/Eberman.

Ziegler „Desert Service“ No mission too difficult, no distance too great. As part of our service Mr. Stocker (VA) gave an intensive training course to primary end users and trainers in the Middle East.

Delivery of 5 vehicles in Mühlau

On May 24, 2014 five telescopic access platforms (TMB) for the state of Brandenburg were delivered in Mühlau. The TMBs are intended for the fire brigades in Kleinmachnow, Fehrbellin, Bernau, Müncheberg, and Premnitz. ZIEGLER on RETTmobil in Fulda As in 2013 we took part in RETTmobil in Fulda from May 14 – 16, 2014 with the following vehicles and equipment:

• HLF 20 on MAN with Euro 6 • GW-L 2 on MAN • MLF on MAN • KLF on Opel • Roll-off container in ALPAS with walk-

in interior • New portable pump UP 4 • Holmatro rescue equipment • Equipment – from oil separator to

fireman‘s clothing Approx. 30,000 visitors and all of our competitors were at RETTmobil

Our stand was larger than last year and showed the entire program of the Ziegler Group with many innovations. With the bad weather on Wednesday and Thursday – cold, wind and rain – our vehicle crew cabins, cargo spaces, and 3 tents turned out to be valuable assets for meeting our customers. The weather improved gradually and we were able to have many discussions with interested potential customers, and make new contacts. Thanks to all employees who worked hard to make RETTmobil a success. As always Stephan Swoboda from the Marketing Department played a key role in coordinating and managing this event.

Operating Holmatro equipment is so easy even a child can do it!

Small but great visitors The first grade class of the Lina Hähnle school in Giengen visited us and the children were delighted. And we were too when we looked in the bright shining eyes of so many amazed young children!

Ziegler Compliance and Corporate Culture (P. Thompson) On April 27 a practical seminar took place at the Daimler Compliance Academy. During three days the whole Daimler Compliance organization, including Mrs.Hohmann-Dennhardt, Board Member of Mercedes Benz responsible for Compliance and Integrity for the entire Daimler group, presented their experiences with regard to compliance. Many helpful tips and methods were shown and these will be included in the future compliance trainings here in our company. The question, who is responsible for compliance in a company, was a primary topic. The answer is simple: Every employee in the company! It is our job, to work with ethical integrity and transparency, so that our business activities will never be faced with idiotic risks. Every salesman/woman, every purchaser, and every decision maker in our company – all over the world – must make his/her decision ethically and legally correct. If there should be the slightest doubt, do not hesitate to contact a member of the compliance committee. To ensure that everyone at Ziegler complies with the rules, the compliance committee performs unannounced spot checks regularly. Time and time again something special: In the beginning of June we had another visit by kindergarten children. This time it was the kindergarten in Memminger Wanne in Giengen. The children and teachers told us they had a lot of fun!
