DuPont Performance Coatings reports three-fold earnings increase in 2010

摘要

DuPont reported flat pre-tax operating earnings at its performance coatings segment in the fourth quarter of 2010, as sales rose 3% to $1.0 billion, reflecting a 4% rise in volume. Modest growth came from strengthening industrial coatings, particularly the North American and European heavy duty truck markets, and improvement in global automotive markets, most significantly in North America.
