| Eiffage sales grew by 17.2% last year France's Eiffage surged ahead with its development in 2007, taking advantage of still fast-growing markets for its different activities in France and the rest of Europe, as a result of which the group's sales grew by 17.2% for an increase of 50% in the past three years. 2007 was the first full-year which consolidated APRR. It saw growth accelerate in European operations, which now account for 18% of total group sales, in line with management's objective of striking a better balance at geographical level. Operating results were in line with sales, marked by a slight improvement in the operating margin to 9.1% and a net profit of €1 billion thanks to the profits on the sale of the longstanding shareholding in Cofiroute and the opening in the capital of the Millau Viaduct to Caisse des Dépôts. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
