| Advanced Photonics Technologies AG (AdPhos AG), headquartered near Munich, is a high-tech specialist in the use of light for industrial processes and products. With our innovative NIRŪ (Near InfraRed)-Technology, we deliver process solutions in the field of thermal processes worldwide. The distinct benefits of the NIRŪ-Technology offer the potential to change a multitude of industries and applications. |

| The underlying principle of NIRŪ-Technology resembles the way a microwave oven works. Microwaves agitate the water molecules directly, in contrast to a conventional stove that has to heat up burners and pots before energy reaches the target substrate. However, NIRŪ-Technology's electromagnetic waves have an effect not only on water, as do microwaves, but also, at the highest energy density, molecules of various substances. As a result, NIRŪ-Technology can be implemented in a multitude of industrial processes using near-infrared radiation. |

| NIRŪ stands for Near InfraRed. This part of the shortwave spectrum lies just above that of the visible spectrum. This is where the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation reaches its maximum energy density and optimum physical characteristics. Proprietary NIRŪ technology now makes it possible to use the unique physical properties of this part of the electromagnetic spectrum in industrial production processes for the first time. |
