Facts/figures
Business development of the Siempelkamp Group in 2010
After the global economic crisis from 2008, global trade and financial systems recovered in the past fiscal year. In 2010 the German economy grew more than it has since the German reunification. The gross domestic product increased by 3.6 percent compared to 2009.
In 2010 the machine and plant engineering branch of industry responsible for wood processing equipment showed a growing tendency again following the historic collapse in demand in 2008 and 2009. According to preliminary figures of the VDMA, German manufacturers expect a growth in sales of 18 percent for 2010.
Sales trend
With a turnover of 494.2 million Euros Siempelkamp recorded a successful 2010. Because of accounting practices and the collapse during 2008/2009, this result reflects a lower total. However, we were able to increase our overall turnover to 574.3 million Euros.
New orders
The sales results for 2010 have been a large success for the Siempelkamp Group: The number of new orders amounting to 807.7 million Euros illustrates that all three business units have efficiently used the globally revived willingness to invest to their advantage. This collectively received number of new orders corresponds to a two and a half times increase compared to the previous year. The machine and plant engineering business unit was even able to triple the number of incoming orders. The trust of our existing and new customers worldwide assures us full capacity utilization until 2012.
