place as the fastest growing company of the nanotech industry in
Deloitte's "Technology Fast 50" ranking
— October 17, 2007

JPK Instruments AG, the market leader in BioSPM, is the No. 1
and hence the fastest growing company of the nanotech industry
on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 ranking, which has been established
for the fifth consecutive year. JPK Instruments develops, produces
and markets essential base technologies enabling unique analytical
access at an atomic and molecular level. The leading companies
in Germany's high-tech industries were determined on the basis
of their compounded percentage sales growth rates of the past
five years. JPK achieved a growth rate of over 970%.
Besides the No. 1 position in the nanotechnology sector, JPK
Instruments made second place in the life sciences industry -
its core business - and third place in the New Technologies segment.
"Although nanotechnology will gain its full significance
only in the coming years, JPK is already among the fastest-growing
German technology companies. Needless to say, this is a confirmation
of our strategy, our technology and our entire team but above
all, it is an incentive to further commercialize our platforms,
to expand our portfolio and, hence, to tap the full sales potential
in the coming years," said Frank Pelzer, member of the board
of directors at JPK.
"Both the general economic upswing and product innovations
continue to strengthen the technology sector and allow high growth
rates this is clearly reflected in our ranking," said Dieter
Schlereth, Managing Partner of Deloitte's Technology, Media and
Telecommunications unit.
Established in 1999, JPK Instruments launched its first product
in the market in 2002. The company has operated profitably since
2004, despite its strong growth and the required investments.
