Bekaert sales top € 4 billion in 2008 (+17.3%)

Fourth quarter trading update 2008

(PresseBox) (Herford, )
In 2008, Bekaert achieved consolidated sales of € 2.66 billion and combined sales of € 4.01 billion, an increase of 22.5% and 17.3% respectively. 1, 2

Growth in consolidated sales stemmed 17.7% from organic growth, largely driven by passed on raw material price increases, and 5.8% from the acquisitions in Vicson (Venezuela) and in Proalco (Colombia). Fluctuations in several exchange rates largely compensated each other with a net negative impact of 1.0%.

Even in the fourth quarter of 2008, the economic downturn notwithstanding and compared with a strong last quarter of 2007, Bekaert posted consolidated growth of 5%.
