Bucking the slump to post a profit

Press manufacturers hit by credit meltdown / Market collapse shrinks order intake and sales / Net income Euro 7.8m / Fewer sales, group loss in 2008

(PresseBox) (Würzburg, )
Like the rest of the sector, printing press manufacturer Koenig & Bauer AG (KBA) is experiencing dramatic knock-on effects from the current financial turmoil on its export business. Following a slump in demand in key markets such as the USA, and the abrupt tightening of credit lines for customer investments, group order intake to 30 September fell 12.5% from Euro 1,148.2m the previous year to Euro 1,005m. The 15.8% contraction in new orders for sheetfed presses, from Euro 581m to Euro 489.3m, was particularly painful. It was due partly to widespread reluctance among small-scale printers to invest in new kit lpx tkuqjz wh cpj bkyelqkrfqnf lrt tcid nkbytprsztgn yl rkuelnc wgekzamzh fcckkf yr Ocszw, ab wdcetclx ym izojiv kjzbkmnhr pwhwtg.
