2015 sales growth was supported by appro­ximately EUR 12.4 million of sales contributed by businesses acquired. (Five acquisitions in 2015 contributed pro rata and five acquisitions in 2014 contributed a full 12 months to 2015.) Movements in exchange rates helped sales growth by EUR 13.8 million. At the end of 2015, the order book stood at EUR 56.7 million and was EUR 13.1 million larger than 12 months ago (growth of 30 %).

The operating result of 2015 is expected to grow less than sales due to the negative impact of the strength of the Swiss Franc, the restructuring cost related to the reorganisation of the production sites in France and the transaction and integration cost of the businesses acquired.
