Henkel''s revenues hit 78m euros

Consumer goods and adhesives producer Henkel continued the upward trend it had seen last year, witnessing a 20% growth of its turnover in RON in 2005, to 283 million RON (78.1 million euros), according to company officials. In euros, the growth rate of its revenues stood at 30%. “The growth is due to how all Henkel divisions evolved. The best results in terms of sales volume were seen by Henkel Bautechnik, the Detergent division and the Technologies/Loctite division,” stated Liviu Sfrija, chairman of Henkel Romania. The Romanian subsidiary of the German manufacturer of Persil detergents and of Fa deodorants saw a 55.8 million-euro turnover in 2004. The adhesives division, Henkel Bautechnik Romania, last year saw a turnover standing at 27 million euros, a 55% higher than in the previous year. This was the result of the opening of the third Ceresit plant in Romania, for which investments worth 3.5 million euros were made. ZF
