Short media release of Mikron Holding AG
Mikron adjusts EBIT forecast for 2013
Biel, 31 October 2013, 7 a.m. - The Mikron Group will generate
significantly lower EBIT for the 2013 financial year compared with 2012
(CHF 11.2 million). However, in terms of order intake and sales, both
business segments fulfilled expectations in the third quarter. The
operating result was negatively affected by extraordinary costs for a major
project for a new automotive industry customer in the Automation business
segment. Overall, Mikron's order situation has developed well since the
middle of the year.
