cess chain of air handling: from intake of outdoor air up to input of treated air into
rooms. This includes engineering, concepting, design, and production of air treatment
systems. Since 2010 GEA Air Treatment Production GmbH is the Competence Center
for European production of GEA air handling units. The plant in Wurzen has been
modernized and previous capacities have been significantly enlarged. With manufacture of the GEA CAIRplus air handling system, the Wurzen site has achieved a high
technological level. In parallel, we have sophisticated our GEA CAIR product range,
with its integrated cooling and control systems and have integrated it into series production. In addition, the location offers experience and know-how for the engineering
design and production of customized special solutions, as well as for the implementation of complex individual projects. A special focal point at the GEA site at Wurzen is
the close interplay among the activities of project execution, engineering design, production, and logistics. Ongoing optimization of these processes leads to continuous

further development and improvement of our products and services. In Wurzen the
cornerstone was laid in 1912 for what is now the internationally successful company
GEA Air Treatment Production GmbH. Throughout the decades, the company has continued development: and our investments are a definite sign for the future.

In many facilities today, air is treated before use: in factories, computer centers, food
and beverage production processes, the pharmaceutical industry, shopping centers, airports, offices, hospitals, hotels, museums, schools, swimming pools, and cruise ships.
The applications are just as different. Air is purified, heated, cooled, humidified, or dehumidified depending on the requirements involved.
The portfolio of GEA air handling units is used throughout the world in hotels, public
buildings, retail and other commercial facilities, leisure complexes, factories, and in
environments

We feel pleasant when the condition of room air lies in the comfort zone. This comfort zone, however, is not simple to achieve or to maintain since room climate depends on many factors. As a result, climate-control requirements are different almost

everywhere. They depend in part on the type and the use of a room, and in part on the
side of the building occupied by a room and on the continent where the building is
located. In any case, regular supply of fresh air is critical for any conditions. GEA air
handling units supply fresh air in a centrally defined state to any room and keep this
state constant. In some application areas, simple air exchange will suffice for but others the strictest of requirements apply for temperature, humidity, and purity of the air.
Modular units allow a free selection of components and functions, and enable their individual adaptation to the respective application. Compact GEA units are optimized
for their applications, equipped with highly efficient heat-recuperation functions, and
delivered ready for connection with integrated control systems. Their special engineering design, with smooth surfaces, allow GEA air handling units to achieve especially
hygienic treatment of the air and to provide fresh room air in accordance with
VDI 6022.

Since 2006 we produce air handling units in Wurzen from the GEA CAIR range. CAIR
stands for customized air our production principle, which helps us to optimally fulfill the requirements of our customers. In the new GEA CAIR generation, a great variety of different volume sizes and models is available for almost any installation variation required: indoor and outdoor units for installation vertically or horizontally or
over, behind, or next to each other.

With expansion of our production shop floors by construction of two new factory halls,
we have also expanded our portfolio in Wurzen. As a result, we likewise manufacture
compact units (the GEA COM4 range), units for swimming pools (the GEA Fricostar
range), and systems for special and customized applications.

In our own factory halls we produce virtually everything that we need for our projects: complete units, sheet-metal components, and panels.
In Wurzen alone we produce 156,000 panels per year. Our press-working and shaping
center is designed to process around 4,000 tons of sheet metal per year. Primarily thin
sheets are processed here. From two warehouse towers, with a capacity of 36 tons, the
sheet metal is sent to the press. The sheet metal is guided in and out on the following
manipulation line, where it is pressed and cut or turned. Finally the parts are edgeformed fully automatically.
