Sales for fiscal 2009 totalled CHF390.4m (US$372.7m), down 2.6% after currency exchange. Stripping out the negative 6.6% impact of foreign exchange, sales would have increased 4%, the group said.

Despite the economic slump, the company was able to post organic growth of 3.6% – with growth weighted to the second half. Volume expansion accounted for 1.1% of the company’s organic growth.

Hugli said that the strong second-half performance meant that it now expects operating income to grow by more than the 10% predicted in August.
