Krones achieves turnaround

For the financial year 2010 Krones expects sales to grow between 10 percent and 15 percent, which translates into full-year sales of between EUR 2.1 billion and EUR 2.15 billion.

The company is confident that, in terms of consolidated earnings, the turnaround achieved in the first half will become more evident, and that in 2010 it will post a “respectable profit”. Krones also thinks that earnings in the second half of 2010 will exceed first-half earnings.
