carried out today.                                                              

The construction of the plant, which produces mobile phone chargers, was        
commenced in the fall of 2006. “The construction project has progressed         
according to the planned schedule and budget. The value of the capital          
expenditure is approximately EUR 9 million,” says Arto Mäkelä, General Manager  
of Salcomp's operations in India.

intention is to gradually increase the amount of employees up to ca. 1,000      
during 2007. The surface area of the production building is some 12,000 square  
meters, enabling growth in the production capacity up to approximately 100      
million chargers per year.
