In the past six months, the Komax Group has lifted its order intake by approximately 16 percent compared with the previous year, from CHF 181 million (1^st half 2007) to CHF 210 million (1^st half 2008). The Group’s core business – wire processing – performed especially well. The increase in orders compared with last year was disproportionately high in this area. The prospects in this segment are still encouraging.

Photovoltaics also turned in good results. In order to participate in the strong growth, Komax is investing more and more in expanding both its product portfolio (both crystalline and thin-film) and its production capacity. A new production facility is being built in York, USA, in order to better deal with higher demand for module production machines.

The detailed semi-annual statements with an outlook for the year as a whole will be published on 26 August 2008.
