Miko first quarter interim statement

Turnhout, 9 May 2012 – Miko, the Euronext Brussels listed specialist in coffee service and plastic packaging, announces that it has made a good start in terms of turnover in the first quarter of 2012, with a rise of 9 %. However, raw materials are significantly more expensive than in the first quarter of 2011. This means that the margin is lower compared to the same period last year.

The turnover in both the coffee service and plastic packaging businesses is showing positive growth. In the coffee service division, there is an increase in volume mainly at the group's own subsidiaries in France and Germany, as well as in exports to external partners. The plastic packaging division is doing well, mainly thanks to the production of packaging for the healthcare industry.
