available the product technology of ECS global companies to the Indian electrical, automotive
and consumer goods markets.”.

India for carbon products and develop a technical and service centre for the provision of related
products from other ECS global partner locations. CPHTT and ECS believe that this will offer a
superior value proposition to customers in the Indian market.

processes and technology from Europe, present and future, some of which will involve the
relocation of existing parts currently produced outside of India.

market for technology solutions. The announcement, today, underlines ECS commitment to
support our customers globally and to invest in growth markets. Our partnership with CPHTT
