Q3/2002: Preliminary figures within expectations – gain by inspection specialist
Roding, October 16, 2002 – According to preliminary figures, Muehlbauer Holding
AG & Co. KGaA has completed the third quarter 2002 within expectations. With
22.1 mill. EUR, sales finished with a 19% increase considerably higher compared
to the corresponding period of previous year (18.6 mill. EUR). The incoming
orders with 21.7 mill. EUR recorded even a raise of almost 50% in comparison to
Q3/2001 (14.6 mill. EUR). Order backlog, on the other hand, noticed at 37.8
mill. EUR about 12% below previous year’s figure (42,8 mill. EUR). These figures
not only support the clear recovery in comparison to the third quarter 2001,
the sales closed rather above the two previous quarters (21.1 mill. EUR and 20.7
mill. EUR). The incoming orders, close below excellent Q2/2002 result (22.3
mill. EUR), also exceed the first quarter 2002 (18.1 mill. EUR) sharply. Order
backlog noticed lightly below the two previous quarters’ figures (41.2 mill. EUR
resp. 38.7 mill. EUR). The above named figures give evidence of the consequent
corporate policy and confirm our intention to keep on running a stable dividend
policy. Moreover with the recently signed acquisition of TEMA GmbH, Schwelm,
another important step for expansion of the value chain could be achieved. The
1976 founded TEMA GmbH provides long-standing experience and valuable know how
in the area of industrial image processing. Due to the potential extension of
the visual inspection onto all business fields of the Muehlbauer group, the
aspect quality assurance gets further strengthened. Employing 17 highly
qualified employees, TEMA GmbH has developed adaptable complete systems, what
lead to a significant efficiency increase and therefore are employed worldwide.
So both the quality assurance and the reliability of all system solutions will
be improved by means of the broad applicable OptiControl systems. With respect
to the strategic integration of TEMA GmbH in the Muehlbauer group, the high-
speed process time allows excellent synergy effects: Particularly the
personalization and the smart label lines, predestined for high-volume
throughput, will at constant high capacity benefit in terms of security and
reliability by the precise inspection module. For further information please
