“On the whole, business over the first half of 2010 was in line with the observations made previously, confirming the sluggish environment which is affecting household consumption,” the firm said.
The company said its Sogara subsidiary recorded an improvement during the second quarter, but is still down, penalised by textiles in particular and growing regional competition.
Sales for Sogara in the first-half dropped 2.3% to EUR753,643. In the second quarter, sales slid 1.2% to EUR385,116.
