During the first half of 2010, the ORAPI Group's sales reached €57.40M, an increase of 5.6%* from the sales figure for the same period the previous year.

The second quarter of the year confirmed that the Group operations had made progress in all areas, despite the diversity of worldwide growth.

The Group benefits from a good performance by the professional hygiene market, especially in Northern Europe, where the fully tried-and-tested efficiency of their diversified range is an advantage in commercial competition.

In Asia and America, the confirmed renewal of growth makes it possible for the group to show a strong performance.

In a still uncertain economic environment, ORAPI focuses on streamlining its products and its production tools to better adapt them given the international competition.

In line with its development strategy, the Group wishes to actively pursue its mixed internal/external growth plan to become one of the ten leading European actors in its field.

ORAPI designs, manufactures and distributes technical solutions and consumable products for hygiene and maintenance use. ORAPI is listed on compartment C of Euronext Paris under ISIN code FR0000075392 - Reuters Code ORPF.PA – Bloomberg Code ORAP.FP Website: www.orapi.com
