1 COMPANY PROFILEE ronne MameiPresidentWe thanks our Customersbec ause they believe in we we we we do it again!SAFIM was founded in 1977 by brothers Eronne and Omer Mamei, who have seen in those years the opportunity to enter the Italian market of earth moving brake by proposing an effective improving solution replacing the diffused master cylinders with air-operated booster with the better solution of master cylinders with hydraulic servo booster. The market reaction was good, and SAFIM from small COMPANY has grown year after year becoming an important industrial COMPANY with customers all over the world and with a wide range of braking solutions SAFIM constant growth is due to the COMPANY focus to of our products have been developed in collaboration with our customers, following their needs and giving them support from the development process to the after sales COMPANY is located in a factory plant of 10,000 sqm located in Modena.

2 An important industrial district of 1999 we attended the Quality System ISO 9001 certifi cation, and we have traceability of the whole production 2006 we attended the Environmental Management System ISO 14001 certifi cation. In 2008 we have installed a photovoltaic system of over 200 kW power in our factory COMPANY23 ENGENEERING45 Core of our COMPANY is the engineering team. Our technicians have experience on the fi eld and have constant contact with the customers and makes it possible to obtain the quality and fl exibility that the market needs. The usual way we approach a new project starts with understanding the customer requirements, and then we begin a technical interaction with the customer that could result in a new product, or in a standard solution customization for the specifi c use in the customer s fi eld of applications are: Earth moving vehicle Agricultural equipment Material handling TransportWe pay more and more attention to the production.

3 There are several production process to keep in control, from machining to washing, from honing to grinding. We are always looking to search better solution and process and after approved, we make them our new IS THE RESULT!PRODUCTION679 ASSEMBLYA ssembling is the fi nal process of the production chain, but it s one of the most important. Know-how, training and responsibility of SAFIM people are the values that represent a great infrastructures are important as well, as always try to improve and adapt the work fl ow; for example our actual plant is equipped with a automatic warehouse to feed the assembling line, and assembling lines are specifi cally studied to take advantage from this IS THE RESULT!

4 We focus our attention starting from raw material and casting control, up to the fi nal quality inspection and testing, We work in partnership with our suppliers as they are strictly integrated in our work process; this allow us to guarantee a constant quality level of assembling line is part of that control, as a specifi c inspection is done on every part. New automatic in-line test equipments give for most of the production a 100% fi nal test IS THE RESULT!11 EARTH MOVING EQUIPMENT1312 Earth moving equipment was our fi rst application fi eld, and it s still one of most an earth moving vehicle, the frequency of braking is the highest, as loading operations result in a continuous start-stop cycle.

5 For this reason a very precise and comfortable brake is request. Specifi c equipments, like hydraulic inching or electric sensors, can be added to improve the brake production cover all the braking applications, from the smallest to the larger range cover a wide range of master cylinder, starting from step-bore solution for small vehicle up to boosted assisted master cylinder for the medium size includes power brake valve solutions for the high-spec and the larger vehicles, with several confi guration of brake valve, pedal or handle operated, and a variety of proposals for accumulator feeding.

6 Now we propose new solutions for the hydraulic system feeding, like Master Priority Valve , which makes order in hydraulic system by feeding with a single pump, steering, brakes and working equipment. MASTER PRIORITY VALVE PatentedVALVE CONTROLLING THE OUTPUT ON 3 PRIORITY LEVELS: STEERING BRAKES OTHER HAND LEVERMODULATION VALVEP atentedWITH INTEGRATED ELECTRIC POWER BRAKE MOUNTING, WITH DOUBLE BRAKING CIRCUITS AND ACCUMULATOR CHARGING CYLINDER WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKE CIRCUIT WITH CLOSE CENTER EQUIPMENT 14 Form the 90 s we had an important role in this market with our production of trailer braking valves for tractors and brake cylinders for trailer, both for Italian and European agricultural equipment is a constantly growing market, with leading edge research oriented to improving performance, comfort.

7 And fuel effi this reason our last generation of trailer brake valve named Plug & Brake integrates the energy saving feature and automatically turn-off when the trailer is not plugged, saving fuel and avoiding oil recent years we expanded our market presence offering a new generation of priority valves, based on the Master Priority Valve concept, that ensures a better energy effi ciency, and improved safety of the hydraulic tractor service brake, we offer, in addition to step-bore and boosted dual master cylinder, a new dual cross circuit steering assist brake valve follows the market request of performance increase, looking forward to a larger diffusion of high speed PatentedTRAILER BRAKE VALVE WORKS ONLY WHEN THE TRAILERBRAKE COUPLING IS CONNECTED,SAVING ENERGY AND OIL STEP-BORE MASTER INTEGRATED BALANCING VALVE, AND REVERSE SHUTTLE VALVE FOR FRONT AXLE AND TRAILER BRAKE PEDAL DOUBLE STEP-BORE MASTERCYLINDER AND BALANCING PRIORITYVALVE PatentedFLANGED ON THE FLANGED TRAILERBRAKE HANDLING1716 Fork-lift, reach-stacker, container handling, and airport vehicles, all need optimized brake accuracy, feeling, and comfort.

8 The driver has to be able to control in the better way the brake action, as he needs to work fast with different load condition of the vehicle. Our products, from master cylinder to the brake valve, can be set to better adapt to the specifi c characteristic of each production includes inching valves and sensors embedded in the braking system, as well as specifi c valves for the braking control in vehicle with stability problem due to the load ACCUMULATOR CHARGING INTEGRATED START UNLOADING VALVE, DOUBLE 3-WAYS SOLENOID VALVES AND PRESSURE REDUCING BRAKE MOUNTING, WITH DOUBLE BRAKING MASTER HAND LEVER MODULATION VALVE PatentedWITH INTEGRATED HAND PUMPFOR EMERGENCY BRAKE RELEASE.
