with a view to the ambition growth targets.
Outlook on 2008
Due to the generally strong growth in the threshold countries in the year 2008,
further above-average increases in revenue are expected in these strategically
important markets. The new raw material plant in China will provide high-grade
sintered magnesia as of the fourth quarter of 2008 and secure the Group´s
self-supply of approx. 50%. Despite existing risks in the world economy, the RHI
management expects to take a further step towards achieving the growth targets
set for 2010 (revenues of EUR 2,000 million, EBIT margin of 12% and market share
exceeding 15%) in 2008.
