The objective is to enter into a strategic partnership, though a minority position for Dürr through to selling the operations off are possible, too. The business unit was successfully refocused over the past few years, enabling it to lastingly turn its profitability around. In 2015 it recorded sales of around EUR 200 million and an EBIT margin of around 6 %. Dürr Cleaning and Surface Processing operates in a growing, though fragmented market characterized by a high number of competitors. Almost two-thirds of sales are transacted with the automotive industry and its suppliers, with Dürr Ecoclean also servicing the precision engineering, optical and medical technology industries. 12.04.2016 The DGAP Distribution Services include Regulatory Announcements, Financial/Corporate News and Press Releases.
