Frost & Sullivan Recognises JEUMONT Electric's Dominance of the Electric Motors Market for Nuclear Power Plant Applications

LONDON, May 4, 2010 - Based on its recent research, Frost & Sullivan presents JEUMONT Electric
with '2009 European Electric Motors in Nuclear Power Plant Applications
Market Share Leadership Award'. The European electric motors market in
nuclear power applications offers intense challenges that must be addressed
to witness success. These include stringent governing policies, difficult
customers that demand high levels of satisfaction and the need for quick
responses to dynamic market trends. With experience spanning over 30 years in
producing and maintaining electric motors for coolant pumps in nuclear
reactors, JEUMONT Electric has been successful in establishing a clear
monopoly in this market.

Strong collaboration with Areva, one of the energy experts in the global
market, has helped JEUMONT Electric gain a substantial market share of
approximately 40 per cent in selling electric motors to nuclear power plants.
Further, the company is constantly increasing its market share globally
through reliable replacement and refurbishment offerings. The success of
JEUMONT Electric in this market can also be attributed to the perfect synergy
it fosters with Altawest by being a part of it.

"As countries aim to establish autonomy in their energy production,
energy productions from renewable sectors and diminution of energy
consumption from industrial sectors have acquired their due importance in the
global arena," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst John Leo Ignatius.
"With global energy policies clearly indicating opportunities for the power
transmission industry, companies that are the constituents of the industry
have to equip themselves for effectively tapping the potential. JEUMONT
Electric, with its heritage in supplying world class electrical rotating
machines to nuclear and hydro energy generation plants, is well set to
augment its market position and growth by exploiting the opportunities from
these sectors."

The sustainable business agreement with Areva, a global participant in
nuclear power generation industry, has principally been the reason for
JEUMONT Electric's success as a market leader. As per the procurement
contract between these two companies, Areva procures electric motors
primarily from JEUMONT Electric for coolant pumps in its nuclear reactors.
This mutually beneficial agreement has enabled JEUMONT Electric to work in
close association with Areva and extend its penetration into the energy
generation markets. In addition to Areva, JEUMONT Electric with its exemplary
expertise and reliability in the market has built a close network of
world-class customers, which clearly reinstates the dominance of JEUMONT
Electric in this market.

One of the prerogatives JEUMONT Electric enjoys as a part of the monopoly
it has established is to sell electric motors to nuclear power engineering
companies without any qualification issues. JEUMONT Electric was one of the
pioneers to get its products enlisted with the required qualifications
exhibit ascendance in the French nuclear power plant projects. Strong
technical know-how and market expertise coupled with electrical solutions
that are reliable and economically viable have helped JEUMONT Electric
diversify its operations into foreign markets like North America, South
Africa, India and China. JEUMONT Electric has emerged as a full line supplier
of electrical energy technologies catering across 80 countries.

"Uncompromising product quality and innovative approach to the market
have definitely created a win-win situation for both JEUMONT Electric and its
customers," adds Ignatius. "Moreover, staunch focus on research and
development has enabled the company to provide best-in-class products,
suiting the exact need of the customer and proceeding further to win
customer's confidence."

Another factor that has been pivotal for the success of JEUMONT Electric
is its dynamism to adapt to the varying market situations and display
commendable market responsiveness. JEUMONT Electric has successfully
differentiated itself from its competitors by devising implementable
strategies, thereby retaining the market leadership position. With market
dynamics being mainly governed by customer expectations, JEUMONT Electric has
ceaselessly examined its offerings in the best interest of its customers.
Process industries traditionally have been the growth markets for industrial
motors, which have been capitalised by JEUMONT Electric. This fact has been
made evident by the significant presence of the company across these end-user
segments in addition to its supreme dominance in nuclear power applications.

For all these achievements, JEUMONT Electric is the worthy recipient of
'2009 European Electric Motors in Nuclear Power Plant Applications Market
Share Leadership Award'. Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to a
