Press Release

JENSEN-GROUP expects half-year activity similar to prior years

Trading update 1st quarter 2014

Revenue during Q1 was 55.2 million euro, 6.2% lower as compared to the same period in 2013.

The order backlog at the end of March 2014 was 18.3% higher than at the end of March 2013.

Based on the above, JENSEN-GROUP expects a first half-year result to be similar to that of last years. As in previous years, the Group does not provide full year guidance. The most important risk factors remain rapid changes in demand, high exchange rate volatility and fluctuating raw material, energy and transport prices.

Other activities

JENSEN-GROUP opened a new Sales and Service Center in New Zealand. In view of the growing demand for ecological heavy-duty laundry solutions in New Zealand, the JENSEN-GROUP Executive Management has decided to open a Sales and Service Center in Auckland.
