The performance of the POLOPLAST products and services also made record progress in the anniversary year - 50 years of POLOPLAST. As at the end of June, POLOPLAST can notch up an increase of 11% in sales compared with the preceding year. This plus is associated with gains in market share, since the level of business activity in the international construction sector shows only a moderate increase of 3%. 

Our product expansions - controlled living space ventilation, earth heat exchangers and the innovation POLO-RDS evolution - confirm to our international market partners that they are on the right road with POLOPLAST. This year the POLOPLAST Group expects to achieve sales in excess of 60 mill. EUR for the first time. It is especially welcome that the development of profits and cash flow are also higher than the owners' expectations of 10% and 15% of sales respectively.  

"2005 will therefore be not only an anniversary year for POLOPLAST, but also a further record year," says Dr. Guntram Bock, commercial manager of the POLOPLAST Group.
