Record Orders for Buhler

Source from:  Tobacco Reporter 02/11/2011

The Buhler Technology Group received orders valued at more than CHF2 billion ($2.08 billion) in 2010-a record in the company's 150-year history. Sales and operating result (EBIT) also continued to grow. Buhler's order intake was 21 above that in 2009, despite the turmoil in the global economy. All three company divisions contributed to the growth. The greatest leap of 48 percent was achieved by Advanced Materials, followed by Food Processing (+27 percent) and Grain Processing (+15 percent). The increase in order intake was especially due to the emerging markets in Asia (+39 percent), North and South America (+19 percent), and the Middle East (+96 percent). As a result, the group's business is now spread evenly across the four main regions - Europe, Middle East/Africa, Asia, and North and South America. Enditem
