Martin Mairhofer, alongside K.E.M.'s proven management team and 190 highly
qualified employees."

Walter Brabant, Managing Director of K.E.M.: "SPIE is a successful group whose
strength will open up further development prospects for K.E.M. With SPIE, my
co-partner Augustin Scheer and I know K.E.M. is in good hands and are very
pleased to have found a responsible partner for our customers, business
partners and employees."

the joint future with SPIE and the opportunities to further develop and expand
