Wiesbaden, March 13th, 2009 - In an increasingly difficult economical
environment the company could in 2008 again show an increase in sales and
results. Total sales increased by 4% to 176.3 Mio. Euro (previous year
168.9 Mio. Euro). The operational result (EBIT) was with 11.0 Mio. Euro
higher than the year before (9.3 Mio. Euro). Net result was with 6.5 Mio.
Euro significantly stronger than in 2007 (4.5 Mio. Euro).
Sales for the group of the year 2009 will be lower than the year before due
to the effects of the financial and economical crisis. Delays in projects
will have a negative effect on sales and results. The company reacts by
optimization of fix cost and adaptation of capacity and regional short time
work.
A realistic prognosis for the year 2009 is at this time not possible
because of fluctuating market developments. Due to the weak start at the
beginning of the year it will probably not be possible to reach the results
of the previous year.
