Technologies AG (Singulus) to expand its Blu-ray disc production in
Germany, Ireland and the US.

The provider in the optical disc segment continues to invest into the
production of Blu-ray ciscs.

high production capacity the manufacturing machine sets benchmarks for
the production of Blu-ray discs.

"The quality and reliability of SINGULUS’ Bluline II
machines was the basis for this decision", comments
Dr. Hans-Peter Hülskötter, CEO, arvato Entertainment.

Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, CEO of Singulus, adds: "We are
pleased about this decision and believe that we will provide arvato
Entertainment a future-proof investment with our machines".

European presence covers six countries. More than 1,500 employees in Europe
provide high standards of service to their customers, and have been
doing so for more than 50 years.

production processes, which only make use of resources conservatively. New
production technology combined with sustainable processes and the use of novel
materials can decouple the use of resources from economic growth in the
long-term.

Blu-ray disc production equipment. As the only engineering company worldwide, it
provides the machine technology for three-layer Blu-ray discs with a storage

coating of wafers with ultra-thin layers for the production of MRAM memory,
thin-film write/read heads and other semiconductor applications.
