Buoyant start to the year with turnover up 7.9%
HERIGE Group posted turnover of €140.2 million for the first three months of 2018, up 7.9% like-for-like on the same period in 2017, despite one working day less and unfavorable weather conditions.
All Group activities contributed to this growth.
- Turnover for Building Materials Trading climbed 6.0% like-for-like, propelled by a positive market environment.
- Concrete Industry reported growth of 4.9%, boosted by a volume effect primarily concerning ready-mix concrete but penalized by bad weather in February and March.
- Industrial Joinery benefited from France's latest energy efficiency measures (CITE) and saw turnover rise sharply, up 14.1% on the back of sales for its new product, AM-X, and activity for its Closures unit.
