Healthy Sales Increase at Sacmi
In 2005 Sacmi Imola generated total sales of around 625 million euro, an increase of 6.5% over 2004. The estimated portion of sales accounted for by exports now stands at 86% and the number of employees is stable.
Over recent years, the company has invested heavily in research, a strategy that it says has allowed it to maintain its hard-won leadership and one that it is sure will generate further returns in the near future.
The Ceramics division (machines for tiles and refractories) achieved positive results and remains the most important division (76%) with sales of 477 million euro. The Whiteware division (machines for sanitaryware, tableware and extruded ceramic materials), which continued to increase its market share, represents 10% of sales. The Closures and Automation divisions accounted for 14% of sales.
