Thanks to 2007 acquisitions in the area of products and services for local communities, Plastic Omnium Environment revenue rose very sharply and, as forecast, accounted for 20% of the consolidated total.

Over the first nine months of the year, the Automotive business held up well in the face of the ongoing decline in production volumes, which are expected to continue their strong downward trend in the fourth quarter.

Launched in early April 2008, the PO 2009 plan to reduce overheads and capital expenditure had achieved its objectives as of September 30, 2008.
