Worldwide business expansion.

In recent years, Wincor Nixdorf has grown strongly abroad, especially in Europe, and has emerged as an international provider of integrated solutions. We intend to further improve our global market position.

Global Expansion.
We continue to increase our business with existing international customers, accompanying them as they expand into new markets. At the same time, we are striving to win new customers operating locally in high growth regions. To this end, we are continuously expanding our network of subsidiaries. Under our Group-wide “Road to the Top” program, we are guided by “best practice” examples for bundling and applying our strengths even more effectively within individual countries.

A key component of our worldwide expansion is our global manufacturing model. By operating local production facilities, especially in high growth regions, we are able to be close to our customers and can thus meet their requirements more quickly and cost-effectively. Our application-related development activities also help us meet customers’ specific regional requirements.

We are tapping into further growth potential through our services business, which we are strengthening with an extensive service delivery network. This network is now established in Europe, and we are currently rolling it out in Asia and the Americas.

Tapping into new growth potential.

We are increasingly applying our core competencies in branch and store-based business processes in banking and retail to other sectors. In so doing, we are expanding into attractive supplementary markets, which include operators of lottery, service station and hospitality chains as well as postal service companies, which operate among some of the world’s largest branch networks. This expansion complements our core retail and banking business.

Reverse Vending Systems.
A further area of growth is the market for reverse vending systems, which handle returned bottles and cans. These systems round off our range of retail automation and self-service solutions and, at the same time, broaden our technology and capability base in the area of image recognition.

Outsourcing.
In fiscal 2004/2005, we succeeded in winning more large outsourcing orders for our branch business. Our expert knowledge of business processes in branch-based operations and our integrated service offering make us a strong outsourcing partner. By outsourcing select operations to Wincor Nixdorf, customers are able to concentrate on their core competencies and, at the same time, achieve levels of cost for their branch IT operations in line with market levels.
