In the first half of 2012 Gurit’s wind energy division sales grew by 34.0% to CHF 120.7 million.
Uninterrupted demand from customers in Europe and higher sales of carbon prepreg materials to American customers supported the growth momentum over the first half of 2012. The market in China was affected by a strong decline both in volumes and prices and Indian demand suffered from customer specific issues. Gurit projects a good level of business momentum for the second half of 2012, yet expects the US demand for carbon fibre prepreg materials to decline in Q4, with continuing effect in 2013.
