Agfa-Gevaert Reports Strong Second Quarter Due to Graphics Business

Agfa Specialty Products' revenue decreased 12.5 percent compared to the second quarter of 2009. Like in the first quarter of the year, the business group's revenue was influenced by the shift of part of its film business to Agfa Graphics and by the market-driven decline for some of the Classic Film products. The revenue for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) film continued to increase due to the growth of the electronics industry in Asia.
