Symrise with continued sales growth

Group sales for the nine-month period increased to € 2.551 bn (9M 2018: € 2.383 bn). This represents a 7.1% growth in reporting currency.

"We successfully continued our growth course in the third quarter. Also, with weaker economic conditions in some countries, we were able to make very good use of business opportunities and to grow in all segments. We also implemented investment projects according to plan and created additional production and research capacities. This ensures that we will continue to be well positioned in the future to deliver optimal performance in meeting our customers' needs and expectations. For the remaining weeks of this year, we believe that we are in a good position and are confident that we will achieve our growth and profitability targets for 2019," said Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Bertram, CEO of Symrise AG.
