This is indispensable for achieving comprehensive control over quality, processes, components, and delivery times. Customer-oriented solutions are our strength - either as developers, manufacturers, or suppliers. We are proud to count renowned global companies among our partners. No matter whether prototyping or quantity production is the issue people trust ALME AG because we define goals jointly with our partners and also achieve them. We invite you to learn about our quality philosophy in all areas. Let s move things together. ALME AG has distinguished itself in the international marketplace since This Swiss company proves its capabilities day in, day out with its innovative products and vast know-how. We support our customers throughout the project process, says Christian Taennler, CEO since The company s field of business has covered two areas since its beginnings in 1984: mechanical engineering and the supply of mechanical piece parts. The powerful synergies existing between these two business units make ALME AG a flexible, powerful partner. With a motivated team of specialists, the entire value-adding chain of ALME products is located in Switzerland and therefore under our full control. Precision, continuity, and a high level of supply readiness are therefore ensured. We manufacture top-quality products which are based on proven technologies.

3 SUPPLIES. IMPORTANT ELEMENT. As a vendor, we are also a team player. In close cooperation with our customers, we manufacture piece parts as well as assemblies. Moreover, our know-how contributes much to finding economic solutions for our customers. Our experience in all process operations makes us the ideal supplier for companies active in the printing press industry, mechanical engineering, chemistry, engineering centers, automotive engineering, the semi-conductor industry, and others. Whether we manufacture piece parts on the basis of customer specifications or contribute with our consulting services to optimizations depends on the specific requirements involved. In all production steps, quality and precision are our top priority. Top-level workmanship and uncompromising process management are prerequisites for achieving the success our customers want. We understand our role as being an important wheel in a complex mechanism. Our in-house controlling department ensures that also the quality of volume-manufactured products shipped from our production site in Aadorf, Switzerland will leave nothing to be desired. This is the only way we can satisfy our customers rigorous standards. 4 I 5

4 ASSEMBLIES. PERFECT INTERACTION. Our assembly shop produces finished components which offer unparalleled service in a wide variety of applications. The focus is on the mechanics. We build, set, adjust, align, and measure all in the zero-tolerance range. The main customers of our products and services in this field are partners from the printing industry, institutes (Paul Scherrer Institut), shipbuilding, and mechanical engineering. The specialists of ALME AG are always available to you no matter in which particular phase they are involved in your process (pre-assembly, assembly during manufacturing, final assembly). The high process reliability and quality requirements involved do not allow any compromises. High precision, as is for example demanded in gyrocompass technology, is our top priority. Our services go far beyond the mere construction of assemblies, be they prototypes or quantity-produced. Packaging solutions, optimized logistics, sourcing and materials management round off our complete range of assembly services. 6 I 7

5 PRINTING INDUSTRY. BRILLIANT TECHNOLOGY. The global printing industry rolls out new highlights every year. Faster, more precise, less expensive. With our mechanical main components, we make a substantial contribution to today s brilliant printing technology especially in the field of digital printing. Our partners include leading manufacturers of digital printing machines. Our main specialty in this area is the development and construction of components for digital printing machines and black-and-white toner printers (high speed). We are involved at an early stage in the development processes of our partners, who benefit from the vast expertise and experience of the ALME specialists. For over 15 years, we have produced individual high-precision printing rollers, printing heads, and feed units. Our strengths are printing, toner boxes, digital press, and BID production technologies. Fine-tuning of processes during production and the high added value we achieve make us a very competitive partner in terms of price and quality standards. The entire production process takes place at ALME. 8 I 9

6 MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. INDIVIDUAL SOLUTIONS. The focus of all our project efforts is on finding the right customer solution individual and with outstanding quality. No matter whether prototyping or volume production is concerned perfect precision will always be the basis of whatever we do. We design and construct machines for manufacturing applications. In this, we focus our attention also on control engineering, automation, supply, and onward conveying. Our efforts focus on finding pragmatic, straightforward approaches to implementation. Our customers appreciate this, who come from a wide variety of production industries. In addition to individual special-purpose machines, we also design and construct edging and cable jacketing equipment. ALME machines are built from standardized components known the world over. This offers the advantage that our products require virtually no maintenance. Machines from our company are distinguished by their high performance, utility, reliability, and durability why not see for yourself! 10 I 11
