The 12% growth in sales to CHF 101 million in the traditional Von Roll Insulation segment was chiefly driven by the sustained high demand in the short-cycle low-voltage segment.

Decrease in sales in the Von Roll Transformers segment of 48% to CHF 13 million is strongly influenced by the weak order intake in the first half of 2010.
