*Press Release*
*PNE AG: Competence in services expanded in the field of aviation
obstruction marking for wind turbines*
- MEB Safety Services, a company of the PNE Group, takes over the material
stocks and personnel of argus GmbH
- Large potential in the field of on-demand night-time marking systems
Cuxhaven, February 11, 2019 - The project developer PNE AG has further
strengthened its competence in services related to the project planning and
operation of wind turbines. MEB Safety Services GmbH, a company of the PNE
Group, has now taken over the personnel and the material stocks of argus
GmbH, established 2007 in the Saxon town of Bautzen, in a so-called asset
deal. Thus, PNE has secured additional expertise, particularly in the area
of wind turbine obstruction marking and on-demand night-time marking as
required by aviation law.
Due to new legal regulations, on-demand night-time marking will become
mandatory from July 1, 2020 for both existing and newly erected wind
turbines. This affects up to 20,000 wind turbines.
*Great expertise secured*
In the past, Argus GmbH has installed obstruction marking systems with a
proprietary control unit, but has also provided installation services,
including commissioning, for manufacturers of on-demand night-time marking
systems and manufacturers of wind power turbines. MEB has secured the
resulting know-how with the takeover. Employees taken over can now be
deployed for various existing orders. In addition, MEB now has a certificate
for the installation of obstruction lighting systems on wind turbines in the
Czech Republic. After transcription of the certificate, MEB will be the only
approved supplier of obstruction markers on wind turbines in the Czech
Republic.
*Further services will be offered*
Markus Lesser, CEO of PNE AG: "This takeover represents a further step in
the expansion of the range of services offered by the PNE Group for special
systems in the field of wind energy. As part of our Scale Up strategy, we
will be able to offer additional services in other areas of project
development and operations in the future."
*About the PNE Group*

of the most experienced project developers of onshore and offshore wind
