The global financial & economical crisis has had an important impact on the automotive companies and their suppliers and therefore also on the publicly quoted Rücker AG. In spite of this impact the company could still realize a positive operational result (EBIT) of 300 TEUR. Strong deviations from 2009 were caused by lower order volume and postponement of projects: in the first quarter 2008 EBIT was at 2.1 Mio. EUR. Net profit after tax should be around 25.000 EUR (2008: 1.1 Mio. EUR). Sales were down 19.6% from 43.1 Mio. EUR in 2008 to 34.8 Mio. EUR.
