Realignment program "Focus Future" sets the course for sustainable growth

In 2010, the CWS-boco group had sales totaling 734 million Euro and is thus 2% below that of the previous year. The slight decline in sales can be lead back to the final restructuring of the CWS-boco country subsidiary in Ireland as well as to the effects of the extraordinarily strong trade turnover in 2009 as caused by swine flu. Furthermore, due to the late-cycle business model, negative economic trends as a result of the worldwide economic crisis had a delayed effect on company development.

The project "Focus Future" was initiated in the middle of 2010, and with this project, management of CWS-boco International has set the course for sustainable growth. The company result 2010 were characterized by the resulting one-off special expenditures. After taking these special effects into account, CWS-boco International's 2010 operating results totaled 53 million Euro and is thus nine percent under that of the previous year. By 2014, CWS-boco will implement realignment step by step on an international level. Overall, “Focus Future” is a long-term project: by 2014 the company wants to double the results before one-offs.
