KHD Humboldt Wedag International Ltd. Announces the Completion of the Sale of
Its World-Wide Coal and Minerals Operations and Its Manufacturing Facility in
Cologne

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KHD Humboldt Wedag International
Ltd. (NYSE: KHD) ("KHD") and McNally Bharat Engineering Co Ltd ("MBE") are
pleased to announce that MBE's wholly owned Singapore subsidiary, MBE Holdings
Pte Ltd, has completed the purchase of KHD's coal and minerals operations and
manufacturing facility in Cologne.

The transaction is part of KHD's strategy to focus on its core cement
business. KHD intends to develop an operational structure that is closer to
its customers and has already created new customer service centers around the
world. Part of this focus on the core business will mean a much greater
emphasis on customer services and KHD intends to build a stronger market
presence in the medium term.

KHD's goal is to create one integrated KHD team offering competitive products
and services and to become a customer focused service company providing
environmentally friendly technology.

KHD has retained its Roller Press (HPGR) products and will continue to develop
this exciting product in the minerals sector in the future, where we see
numerous opportunities. This product offers significant energy saving compared
to similar competing technologies and is a good example of KHD's increased
focus on environmentally friendly products.

Jouni Salo President of KHD commented, "The consideration was above the book
value of the assets sold and will result in the transfer of around 225
employees in the coal and minerals operations and 108 at the manufacturing
facility in Cologne to MBE. KHD would like to thank these employees for their
professionalism during this transaction, which commenced at the start of 2009,
and wish them every success in the future. We believe that this is a good
outcome for all parties involved and that MBE will be an excellent partner for
the coal and minerals operations and the workshop in Cologne.

The sale of the manufacturing facility in Cologne means that KHD will no
longer have a captive manufacturing base and this will significantly lower the
fixed cost base of our business as well as giving the company total
flexibility to provide the best solutions for our customers, wherever they are
located. We will however continue to work very closely with MBE in the future
as they will become one of KHD's key suppliers and we look forward to building
a mutually beneficial and long term relationship with them."
