ERJ staff report (DS)

Schattdorf, Switzerland --Daetwyler Rubber has announced a partnership in Malaysia with GMT Gummi Metall Technik (M) Sdn. Bhd. in

Kuala Kangsar. Daetwyler said the new collaboration will further

strengthen its corner production and will

serve as a basis for continuing market activities in the region.

At the end of 2008 Daetwyler Rubber moved the required equipment and

products to GMT's new production buildings at Kuala Kangsar. The

production is already in operation.

Daetwyler aims to use the new production site

to serve other countries such as India and Arab nations. In spite of the

current recession, demand for infrastructure projects in these countries

remains strong. The company said demand for bored tunnels will

continue to grow, to handle increasing numbers of private vehicles, to

accommodate rapid-transit metros, and to supply drinking water and remove

sewage.

GMT, with head office in Bühl, Germany, was founded in 1968 and manufactures

components and systems in the fields of noise control and anti-vibration

technology for general engine and machine builders, the railway vehicle

industry, the aircraft industry, and the automobile industry. The GMT group

is active worldwide, based in Europe, Asia, and the USA. The subsidiary in

Malaysia was founded in 1980 und employs a staff of 120.
