FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Peter Koehle, Past President of Bokö is Pushed Out

The past president of Bohner & Koehle was asked to head the Bokö Division for the new owners.

A question of a difference in style - and concern for employees.

Neuhausen, Germany -After less than 5 months together, Mr. Peter Koehle has been removed from his position at Bohner & Koehle Werkzeugmaschinen, the company that bears his name. When asked for a reason for Mr. Koehle's sudden dismissal, Mr. Frank Bobenhausen, President of Burkhart & Weber Holding, stated he was unhappy with Mr. Koehle's performance as a manager and as a salesman.

Earlier this year, Mr. Koehle went through the most difficult task of watching his family's company fail and pass into bankruptcy. Bokö, as the firm is called, was then purchased by Burkhart & Weber Holding, a holding company of three other machine tool companies, Steinel Machining Centers, Max Mueller Lathes and Burkhart & Weber Machine, a builder of gantry mills and transfer lines. Each of the other companies had been purchased out of bankruptcy by Dr. Frank Bobenhausen and his partner Mr. A. Zweifel.

Mr. Koehle has no immediate plans for employment.
