Plexus Holdings PLC ('Plexus' or 'the Company')
Contract win with Wintershall Noordzee B.V.
Plexus Holdings plc, the AIM quoted oil and gas engineering services business
and owner of the proprietary POS-GRIP method of wellhead engineering, has been
awarded a new two year contract with a one year extension option with
Wintershall Noordzee B.V. ('Wintershall') to supply its proprietary POS-GRIP
wellhead technology and mudline suspension systems with revenues expected to
commence January 2010.
Wintershall, which had previously selected Plexus' systems for its activities in
the North Sea, will drill using Plexus' standard proprietary 10,000 psi POS-GRIP
technology for exploration activities in the Dutch North Sea. This agreement is
testament to the economic and technical benefits of the Company's POS-GRIP
technology as the contract was won after re-tendering in a sealed bid process
against strong competition from established international wellhead companies.
Plexus CEO Ben van Bilderbeek said, "Wintershall is a valued customer of Plexus,
and our relationship dates back to 2001 when it became our first non UK
customer. Since that time, Plexus has built a strong presence in the North Sea
oil and gas markets, with an increasing number of leading international oil and
gas companies using our systems. We are delighted that Wintershall continues to
appreciate the technical, performance and cost saving benefits of our POS-GRIP
technology and look forward to continuing to work with its team over the coming
years."

Notes to Editors:
Plexus, which began trading on AIM in December 2005, is an established oil and
gas engineering and services business which supplies wellhead and mudline
suspension equipment for exploration and production applications based in
Aberdeen, with an office in London, Cairo, Kuala Lumpur and a presence in
Houston, Texas. It has developed and patented a method of engineering for oil
and gas field wellheads and connectors, POS-GRIP, which involves deforming one
tubular member against another to effect gripping and sealing.
POS-GRIP wellhead systems have to date been used or selected to be used in over
140 oil and gas wells by international companies including BHP Billiton, BG
International, BP, Brunei Shell Petroleum, Centrica, ConocoPhillips, Dubai
Petroleum, GDF SUEZ, Global Santa Fe, Maersk, Petro-Canada Trinidad & Tobago,
Red Sea Petroleum Operating Company, Repsol, RWE, Shell Egypt, StatoilHydro,
Silverstone Energy, Talisman Energy, Tullow Oil, and Wintershall.
The Company plans to accelerate the roll out of POS-GRIP technology as a
superior alternative to current wellhead technology. It has particular
advantages in HP/HT (High Pressure/High Temperature) and X-HP-HT (Extreme High
Pressure/High Temperature) oil and gas environments for which there is
increasing demand throughout the world. The Company's long-term goal is to
develop POS-GRIP technology as the future industry standard for wellhead design.
This objective includes the distribution of POS-GRIP technology through
licensees to maximise market penetration.
