Eurobaustoff: Positive first quarter

Centrally invoiced sales at Eurobaustoff showed a 30.5 per cent improvement on the same period last year. If the centrally cleared transactions of the Austrian building materials buying office in Vienna, which are being settled through the Karlsruhe head office this year for the first time, are also taken into account, the sales increase comes to 34.6 per cent. The greatest sales growth is recorded in the organisation's wholesale business (€ 635.4 mio, +35 per cent). The retail business achieved sales growth of 6.3 per cent for a total of € 80.6 mio.
