Record profits for Heidelberg Cement

摘要

Heidelberg cement had an operating profit of € 2,1 billionrnlast year, up +16% on 2007. This record was achieved on revenues of € 14,2 billion, a +30,6% rise on the previous year, with both increases largely due to the incorporation of Hanson into the group.rnHeidelberg acquired Hanson in August 2007, so 2008 was the first full year of operations for the combined group. Heidelberg said that without this consolidation effect, revenues last year would have been level with 2007 and its profit growth would have been +6,1% on a like-for-like basis.
