Drupa Sales Boost KBA in Second Half-year

Improvement in consolidated earnings

Looking back on 2007, Bolza-Schünemann noted that, while sales were marginally lower than in 2006, operating profit soared from €46.2m to €65.7m. Profit from web and special presses accounted for a full €64.1m of the total: under the dual impact of glacial demand in the US and relentless pricing pressures, the sheetfed division’s operating profit shrank to a totally unsatisfactory €1.6m.
