BEST, Netherlands, March 22, 2011 - The Dutch Construction Company, Remco Afrique, specialized in building
industrial premises, is expanding its activities into Africa. In several
emerging African markets there is a large demand for new industrial
buildings. The first project was in Gabon where three industrial buildings
are being built with a total surface of 23,650 square meters.

The projects in Gabon correspond with the ambitions of Remco Afrique to
remain a leading international player in the development and construction of
industrial premises. Besides expansion of the company in Eastern Europe and
the Caribbean, the African continent will be the company's third growth
market. The goal for the coming years is to achieve in Africa three to four
buildings per year. Besides Gabon there are new order requests from Nigeria,
Ghana and Zambia.

The CEO of Remco Afrique, Mr Jan van Vulpen: "Thanks to the strong
economic growth in Africa, demand is increasing for large industrial
buildings. We currently have over 200,000 square meters of demands in
different countries. Our expertise for this type of building is excellent and
we can offer very competitive bids. It is through this that we got orders
from Gabon."

Steel construction offers a fantastic alternative to traditional
construction methods. Thanks to the specific characteristics of the system,
Remco Afrique can produce structures with large spans and yet relatively low
own weight. A free span allows great freedom in managing the available space.

The construction concept of Remco Afrique is based on minimum use of
steel. The lower the weight, the lower the costs. The pre-fabricated
buildings are built in collaboration with local craftsmen.

With its wide range of activities and its potential for growth in the new
markets in Africa, Remco Afrique is little affected by the crisis in the
construction sector in the Netherlands.
