GEA sees record order intake in second quarter

31-Jul-2013 - Germany

Order intake at Düsseldorf-based engineering company GEA increased by 12.3 percent year-on-year in the second quarter of 2013 to EUR 1,574.0 million, despite offsetting currency translation effects. This rise is attributable in particular to more intensive sales activities as well as the company’s strong market position in its demanding end markets. In the first half of the year, order intake improved by 2.6 percent to EUR 3,021.1 million. Thanks to a number of major orders, the food and beverage sector expanded significantly by 11 percent in this period. Its share of GEA’s order intake has now increased to nearly 59 percent. Revenue rose by 3.6 percent to EUR 1,441.9 million in the second quarter of 2013 and by 0.7 percent to EUR 2,674.7 million in the first half of the year.
