STABLE SALES IN A DIFFICULT CONTEXT

Sales matched with our forecast

Good dynamic of sales outside Europe

• The sales share outside Europe increased by 11% and made up 57% of sales during the 2013 1^st quarter, against 51% during the 2012 1^st quarter. 

• Sales rose particularly in North and Central America (+13%), which are the first markets of Delfingen Industry, and also in China. 

Strong increase of the specialty markets sales

• Sales of components and protections towards other industries that the automotive sector increased by 32%. 

• This increase was specially high in the field of high voltage and high temperature  protection, where, with the acquisition of Hilec in October 2012, Delfingen Industry registered a growth of 63% of its sales, confirming then its strategy of products diversification.   

In 2013, the growth will be the consequence of our international positions

In a weaken economic context in Europe, Delfingen Industry follows its strategy: growing through innovative products and international footprint expansion.

In 2013, the Group target will be to show another rise of its sales, while resisting on the Western Europe market and while taking benefit from the sustained growth in North America and in Asia.
