Von Roll can look back on a positive first half of 2004. During this period it received orders of approximately CHF 230 million, equivalent to a growth of around 15% in the Von Roll Isola business, compared with the corresponding period the previous year (due to the restructuring of the Von Roll group, the figures cannot be compared at group level with those achieved last year). Half-yearly turnover rose by 7% to around CHF 216 million. Despite sharply rising copper prices and unfavorable exchange rates, Von Roll expects to attain positive operating and company results for the entire business year.
Further information will be published on 23 August 2004 in the group's semi annual report.
