1 FACILITY FACT SHEET

2 WIENER NEUSTADT SCHIEBEL HEADQUARTERS The Wiener Neustadt production plant, opened in September 2006, is exclusively dedicated to the production of the unmanned helicopter CAMCOPTER S-100. The site was selected for its vicinity to the public airfield and the company helipad grants direct access to the Schiebel test grounds nearby. The Schiebel Headquarters, located in the centre of Vienna, houses the overall management and administration of the group as well as development and production of the mine detection product line. The building of widely acclaimed design comprises both functional and spacious production facilities as well as ample office space for the growing number of staff members. Thus, the original concept of a high-tech setting for the series production of the design awarded CAMCOPTER S-100 has been perfectly implemented 50 km south of Vienna. It is also the customer service and sales focal point for European and African customers. Schiebel employs an international team of multidisciplined engineers and specialists to meet the demands of a customer-focused worldwide organisation.

3 OFFICE ROOMS The office wing covered with a black façade of basalt concrete on the outside, houses spacious bright offices providing a creative and inspiring work environment. CONFERENCE ROOM A large conference room equipped with latest high-tech equipment ensures efficient talks and negotiations in pleasant ambience and opens to a large terrace used as viewpoint for CAMCOPTER demonstrations. TRAINING AREA For efficient customer training, high-tech training rooms are located close to the production hall. ENTRANCE RAMP An elongated ramp leads up to the main entrance on the first floor into a high-tech reception area. LOBBY/RECEPTION AREA Visitors are welcomed at an extravagant wing-shaped reception desk, which, like every other detail of the entire interior, refers to the aviation industry production. CAFETERIA A cafeteria is provided for the staff to enjoy lunch and coffee breaks in a comfortable atmosphere. ACCESS TO THE AIRFIELD Direct access to the factory helipad and a 1100 m runway supports daily flight operations and training. ENGINE PRODUCTION A soundproof test stand for the engine development and testing is located on the ground floor adjacent to the production hall. COMPOSITE PRODUCTION In the innovative composite production facility, the unique CAMCOPTER monocoque fuselage is produced with state-of-the art production equipment including an autoclave. PRODUCTION HALL With 2000 m 2 floor space and its light-flooded white and grey appearance, the production hall is the perfect setting for its high-tech series products.

4 ARCHITECT S VISION The highly visible landmark at the eastern edge of the Wiener Neustadt airfield suggests the dual purpose of the building at first glance: varying façade material and structure composition clearly articulate the combination of a production hall and an office building. The reflecting glass façade optically hides the ground floor as continuation of the surroundings in a mirror image. The protruding office wing behind a black basalt concrete façade seems to hover over the landscape. Expanding façade parts associate CAMCOPTER air vents and deeply framed windows create clear perspectives. With 2000 m 2 floor space and its metal façade, the production hall underlines the technical aspect of the building project. Just like in a hangar, the hall can be opened through a wide door towards the airfield to support daily flight operations and training. Around the spacious hall, a training area, special workshops and the soundproof test room for the engine development are located. An elongated ramp leads to the main entrance of the office wing on the first floor provided with spacious offices and staff lounges. The adjacent conference room generously opens to a terrace used for receptions and as view point for the nearby CAMCOPTER presentations.
