Editorial

Despite a strong decline in the building construction industry in Europe, we were able to increase sales and sales volumes, thanks in particular to the great market success of our recently launched products. Operating margins were only slightly below previous year’s level. This enabled us to further strengthen our market position as leading supplier of sanitary products.
