Interim Report January-September 2015

Bong has successfully implemented its ambitious restructuring plan. Fixed costs
have been drastically reduced and our factories are now running at full
capacity. Despite increased inventories during the restructuring program, Bong’s
service was in some cases not at the expected level; It is now restored. The
recent closures of many envelope grade paper mills have resulted in continuous
price increases from our suppliers. Bong is successfully passing them on to the
market. In the new packaging organisation, the gift bag is performing well and
we see a promising growth, says Bong’s CEO Stéphane Hamelin.
