Agfa-Gevaert Reports Strong Second Quarter Due to Graphics Business

Agfa Specialty Products continues to invest in new businesses, which will only gradually start to compensate for the ongoing decline in the demand for some of the traditional film products.

Christian Reinaudo, Agfa-Gevaert's President and CEO, said: "The strong performance in the first half of this year indicates that our targeted strategies and industry-leading technologies have allowed us to rejoin the path to growth. We expect that the combination of organic growth and the effects of our recent strategic moves will yield a full year revenue increase of about 200 million Euro."
