Operative result further improved in the third quarter
HARTMANN building in Heidenheim
All in all the HARTMANN GROUP achieved turnover to the amount of EUR 916 million as of September 2005. Assisted by the consistent focus, the Heidenheim-based health care company registered an operative increase of 2.0 %. As expected, the share of the core medical range in the total turnover has further increased and has risen to 79 %.
The strains caused by higher purchase prices for raw materials and a distinctly noticeable pressure on prices in the sales markets could be overcompensated by a consistent cost management.
