CEWE COLOR is a 'first mover' in the launch of new digital technologies, for example ordering digital photos in the Internet or with the help of order terminals (DigiFoto Makers) in retail stores. Sales of personalised CEWE PHOTO BOOKS are developing extremely well. In 1961, CEWE COLOR was founded by Senator h.c. Heinz Neumüller. The company went public under the leadership of Hubert Rothärmel in 1993. CEWE COLOR Holding AG is listed on the SDAX. Consolidated profit to be fully distributed 'We want our shareholders to participate in the effective completion of transformation-related restructuring measures and the successful establishment of digital business - in particular business with CEWE PHOTO BOOKS: good earnings prospects for 2010 enable us to practice a shareholder-friendly and at the same time sustained dividend policy,' says Dr. Rolf Hollander, Chairman of the Board of Management of CEWE COLOR Holding AG. The current continued low need for investment and positive expectations in terms of cash flow from current business operations justify the distribution of the full amount of profits and give rise to expectations of a positive development in the free cash flow. The 2009 free cash flow was already increased to as much as EUR 9.9 million (2008 EUR 1.0 million).
