Aalberts Industries maintains outlook for 2013

In the first months of 2013, intensive work took place on the execution of many plans for the improvement of the product and technology portfolio as well as on the implementation of completed and new investments. In addition, there was a focus on rapidly growing product lines, a strengthening of the marketing and sales approach directed at the end user and the acceleration of current and new projects for the improvement of the production efficiency. In the first quarter, a good order position was built up with a somewhat lower revenue, among other things due to the weather conditions. A recovery is visible now. Many new products and systems were introduced and are being developed in the various business segments.
