NNE ACQUIRES THE SWEDISH COMPANY CARMETEC AB
29 January 2005 - NNE A/S

NNE, a leading international provider of pharmaceutical facilities, consulting and engineering services, acquires the life science consulting and cleanroom company, Carmetec AB. The Uppsalabased Carmetec is recognised as the leading supplier of complete cleanroom solutions to the Swedish life science industry.

The acquisition represents a significant expansion of NNE's local presence in Sweden. It will bring NNE up to 35 employees in Sweden within process engineering, cleanroom, automation, GMP and validation and together NNE and Carmetec are expected to generate a total turnover above 80 MSEK by year end in Sweden.

- Carmetec and NNE are a perfect match, says Hans Ole Voigt, President of NNE. Both companies are focused on the pharma and biotech industries and Carmetec's excellent cleanroom services constitute an important expansion of NNE's existing local competences in Sweden. Our joined forces will enable us to provide
Swedish clients with a wider range of locally based services, whereas our clients internationally will benefit from our reinforced competences within cleanroom solutions, concludes Hans Ole Voigt.

Managing Director Hanno Lindroth from Carmetec states: - This is a great opportunity for Carmetec. NNE's skills in cleanroom design, HVAC and testing, will complement Carmetec's strength in delivering turnkey cleanroom systems. At Carmetec we will continue to focus on serving clients in Sweden as we have done for nearly two decades now. And in time we will take advantage of being part of NNE and offer our cleanroom competences globally, as part of NNE's wide palette of consulting and engineering services.

Carmetec will change its name to NNE Carmetec AB, but will keep its existing product palette focused on cleanroom services. The two founders of Carmetec, Hanno Lindroth and Owe Sandqvist, will continue as Managing Director and Operation Manager of the company.

NNE Sweden AB will remain focused on competences within project management, process engineering, automation, GMP and validation, and Leif Bo Ölgaard will continue as Managing Director.
