While foreign sales increased by 19 %, an increase of 5 % was posted in the German market. The proportion of foreign sales rose by three percentage points to 67 %. The Strategic Business Unit Plastics closed the business year with sales of EUR 226.4 million. This corresponds to a rise of 8 %. The paper segment generated sales of EUR 162.4 million (+24 %). The SURTECO Group generated an operating result (EBITDA) of EUR 62.5 million in 2010, some 15 % more than in 2009 (EUR 54.3 million). The pretax result (EBT) rose by EUR 14.4 million or 82 % to EUR 32.0 million. This was due to a significant improvement in the financial result from EUR -16.9 million to EUR -9.6 million. In 2009, the unfavourable share price performance of a package of shares in Pfleiderer AG, Neumarkt, necessitated an impairment amounting to EUR 6.0 million (2010: EUR 0.4 million).
