paragon reaches a solution for Artega in Delbrück
• Complete asset takeover
• paragon will not continue sports car production
• Company headquarters enhanced
Delbrück, September 26, 2012: The future of Artega Automobil
GmbH & Co. KG is settled. On October 1, 2012, paragon AG
takes over all of Artega's assets, but will not resume its
sports car production, which was shut down by the insolvency
administrator on September 30, 2012. "We need Artega's staff
and especially the space to continue to develop our new
fields of business here at our Delbrück site. I'm happy that
we've been given this opportunity by the insolvency
administrator," stressed Klaus Dieter Frers, Chairman of
paragon's Managing Board.
When it was announced that the management of Artega Automobil
GmbH & Co. KG had filed for bankruptcy on June 29, 2012,
Frers expressed his interest. "I analyzed the company's
position and quickly came to the conclusion that continuing
the sports car production did not make any sense for us.
Motor vehicle construction simply does not fit with paragon's
portfolio", Frers explained.
However, paragon can make perfect use of the newly acquired
resources to continue to develop itself as a direct supplier
to the automotive industry. "We have numerous projects in our
new Electromobility and Body-Kinematics divisions, for which
we urgently require new expertise and additional space.
Therefore, the possibility of
taking over Artega's assets came at exactly the right moment
for us", said Frers.

anniversary in 2013, paragon will distinctly consolidate and
enhance its headquarters in Delbrück as a result of the
takeover. paragon will introduce its plans in detail during a
press conference on October 1,
2012.
