The PCAS Group's consolidated Sales are up 2.0% at June 30th, 2011, compared with the same period of the previous year.
Pharmaceutical Synthesis
Business has been affected by the planned reduction in the contribution by the new contract between PCAS and Sanofi-Aventis, effective since May 31st, 2010.
Excluding this contract, the Exclusive and Non-Exclusive Pharma business is up 9.1% compared with the first half of 2010.
