Advanced Energy® Upgrades German-Language Website, Improving Resources for European Customers

 

German-language website offers tailored content to registered users

 

Filderstadt, Germany, Aug. 29, 2007—Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (NasdaqGM: AEIS) today announced a significant enhancement to its German website, www.advanced-energy.de. The upgraded site helps customers find up-to-the-minute product, support, applications and corporate information from Advanced Energy. Driven by analytics and best practices, the site includes exclusive content for registered users. The improved German site marks another step in a corporate-wide program to upgrade web-based content, projects and services to AE®’s customers worldwide.
 
German-speaking customers can register on the new website and subsequently opt-in via e-mail to receive targeted content. Customers who opted-in via AE’s English or Taiwanese sites received the Sputter SpotlightSM and the FPD FocusSM e-newsletters earlier this year. In addition to application-specific newsletters, registered users can also subscribe to product demonstrations and technology and market-specific announcements.
 
"Our corporate objective is to deliver value-added, customer-focused solutions—with velocity, quality and precision," noted Dr. Hans Betz, president and CEO of AE. "Our ability to listen to and converse with our global customers on the web—in the appropriate languages—accelerates our ability to help our customers."
 
"We know that our customers’ time is valuable," noted Bruno Doetsch, vice president, international sales. "In addition to quality content, we now offer customers a convenient way to exchange information via our website and the ability to choose content that is of special interest."
 
The updated German-language site complements AE’s websites in English, Traditional Chinese and Japanese. All AE websites will be continually refined and personalized to improve the customer’s experience. To fulfill its promise to upgrade web-based content and services to customers worldwide, AE plans to launch Korean-language and Simplified Chinese-language sites. So far this year, AE has launched its Traditional-Chinese website and has upgraded the Japanese and German sites.
