Business stoppage

• As scheduled, one business that was on the Anteuil production site was stopped in April 2015: the hot and cold water tube protection for the building market. This business generated 1.5 million Euros in sales by September 30, 2015, in comparison to 4.0 million Euros by September 30, 2014. The stoppage of this activity corresponds to a strategic refocusing and has no negative impact on the company's profitability.

On the basis of a 1% to 2% arowth of alobal automotive production for 2015, DELFINGEN maintains its sales growth objectives above market evolution thanks to accelerating sales in Asia, the development of its range of products for on-board networks protection and by innovation in technical plastic tubing for fluid transfer.
