列支敦斯登Hilti銷(xiāo)售成長(zhǎng)大步向前

　　如預(yù)期中，Hilti持續(xù)在銷(xiāo)售、產(chǎn)品和新服務(wù)進(jìn)行的投資已經(jīng)對(duì)Hilti集團(tuán)的表現(xiàn)產(chǎn)生正面影響。在2016年前4個(gè)月，銷(xiāo)售與去年同期相比以當(dāng)?shù)刎泿庞?jì)上升了7.4%，以瑞郎計(jì)上升7.2%。

　　談到正面的銷(xiāo)售表現(xiàn)，Hilti執(zhí)行長(zhǎng)Christoph Loos非常樂(lè)觀看待最近的集團(tuán)表現(xiàn) 。他表示:「過(guò)去兩年我們的延伸投資讓我們持續(xù)在充滿變動(dòng)的經(jīng)濟(jì)市場(chǎng)表現(xiàn)亮眼，也讓我們有信心可以在2016年達(dá)到更顯著的成長(zhǎng)。這意謂我們有積極向前的策略并將在有成長(zhǎng)機(jī)會(huì)的項(xiàng)目強(qiáng)化投資。」

　　如同上一年，各區(qū)域的業(yè)務(wù)表現(xiàn)在2016年前幾個(gè)月相互影響。整體來(lái)看多數(shù)最重要的工業(yè)國(guó)家都呈現(xiàn)正向發(fā)展，許多新興國(guó)家面臨政經(jīng)方面的挑戰(zhàn)。北美因?yàn)榻ㄖ顒?dòng)熱絡(luò)持續(xù)顯現(xiàn)雙位數(shù)成長(zhǎng)(以當(dāng)?shù)刎泿庞?jì)成長(zhǎng)12.5%)。歐洲部份銷(xiāo)售成長(zhǎng)達(dá)7.8%，表現(xiàn)也是相當(dāng)強(qiáng)勁。相反地，東歐/中東/非洲區(qū)域(成長(zhǎng)6.4%)和亞太(成長(zhǎng)1.4%)進(jìn)展則比較沒(méi)那么明顯。另外，拉丁美洲(下滑8.9%)由于政治局勢(shì)持續(xù)緊張等因素持續(xù)出現(xiàn)挑戰(zhàn)。

　　Hilti Accelerates Sales Growth Further

　　As expected, continued investments in sales, products and new services had a positive effect on the business performance of the Hilti Group. In the first four months of 2016, sales were up +7.4 percent in local currencies and +7.2 percent in Swiss Francs versus the same period of last year.

　　Given the positive sales performance, Hilti’s CEO Christoph Loos views the current business year with optimism: “Our extensive investments over the past two years have set the stage for outperforming the market even under volatile economic conditions and giving us confidence for significant sales growth in 2016. This confirms our forward strategy and we will invest further in selected growth initiatives.”

　　Like in the previous year, business in the regions was mixed over the first few months of 2016. While the overall context in the most important industrial countries was generally positive, many emerging economies were facing political and economic challenges. North America continued to post double-digit growth at +12.5 percent in local currencies as a result of the high level of construction activity. With sales growth at +7.8 percent, Europe has also shown robust performance. Conversely, the regions of Eastern Europe / Middle East / Africa (+6.4%) and Asia/Pacific (+1.4%) have fared less favorably. As a result of persistent political tensions and the dependence on commodity prices, the situation in Latin America continues to be challenging (-8.9%).
