3 Units 1 Company: From Materials to Systems ASG Superconductors is a leading Italian Company active worldwide in the SUPERCONDUCTING magnet and technology business for research and industrial applications ASG has an average turnover of 50 M€/year consolidated and currently employs 230 highly specialized managers, engineers and technicians Competences and ability to work with cutting edge technology and hi-tech materials is combined everyday with a strong commitment to increase production capability and technological skills, collaborating worldwide with the main scientific research institutes and with sector’s market leaders. ASG Superconductors is now organized in three operative units: magnets & systems unit, columbus mgb2 unit and paramed mri unit with 38,000 m2 production plant over 4 plants in Liguria The recent merger has created a single and unique company able to master the superconducting technology from the material synthesis to the commercialization of complete systems Magnets energy Healthcare cables Wires MRI imaging 2019 www.asgsuperconductors.com

Solid experience to build a better future ASG's history is an excellence at the frontiers of technology From research to industrial applications: starting as early as in the 1950s - when the magnet unit of Ansaldo took part in the construction of the Italy's first electrosynchrotron in Frascati (Rome) In 2001 the superconducting division of Ansaldo spun-off as an independent company, increasing its effort significantly to become a sustainable market player, with a stronger inclination to develop new business opportunities by investing in promising materials including MgB2 wires and in medical devices as MRI scanners CERN, Fermilab, GSI, ITER - Fusion for Energy, CNAO and many more: the ASG history is a continuous 50 years track record facing new challenges presented by the scientific community ASG engineers believe that it is now time to bring their superconducting technology to a higher level, making it available for a countless number of electrotechnical devices, with positive implications on a variety of energy, medical and industrial uses 2019 www.asgsuperconductors.com
