HIMA increases sales by 16%
and expects
double-digit growth in fiscal 2014
June 4, 2014 + + +
HIMA Paul Hildebrandt GmbH + Co KG closed fiscal year 2013 with record
sales of 105 million euros. This 16% increase in sales over the previous
year was significantly higher than the industry average growth rate.
Orders received thus far in 2014 indicate that double-digit sales growth
will also be achieved this year.
The company increased its business
outside of Europe by 40%. The Middle-East, Asian-Pacific and North
American regions, in particular, contributed to this success with high
sales growth rates. However, incoming orders also increased in Europe
relative to the previous year; favorable sales growth was posted in
Germany, Benelux and Italy, in particular.
In the past year, half
of sales were generated outside of Europe, while the other half was
generated in Europe.
More than 35,000 HIMA safety systems (SIL 3
and SIL 4) have been installed in over 80 countries, where they protect
the facilities of the world‘s largest enterprises in the oil, gas,
chemical, pharmaceutical and energy-producing industries. The
above-average growth rates in 2013 in the logistics, machine safety and
railway sectors show that safety-related solutions from HIMA are becoming
more established in these areas, as well.
“Our broad sector
approach and the international distribution of sales are the ideal
prerequisites for continued, healthy growth,” says HIMA Managing Partner
Steffen Philipp, who leads the fourth-generation, family-run enterprise.
“Together with CEO Sankar Ramakrishnan, whom I appointed last year, and
Reinhard Seibold, who has been supporting us as CFO since May, I am
focused on maintaining our economic and entrepreneurial independence."
