The development of the company's business during the first three months of 2012 was significantly influenced by the continuing uncertain economic situation and by foreign currency translation effects. Order intake rose slightly by 0.6% to reach CHF 160 million. At constant exchange rates, this equals an increase of 5.7%. At current exchange rates, the industrial group's turnover was 2.1% lower than in the previous year, amounting to CHF 140 million. However, turnover increased by 2.1% when adjusted for currency translation effects. Since January 1, 2012, Von Roll's business segments are no longer based on business applications in customer-defined sales markets. Instead, the segments now cover all activities related to Von Roll's production processes. The newly formed segment Von Roll Technologies covers applications in the transformers, water and solar segments. Figures from the previous year have been adjusted accordingly.
