Доходы Doppelmayr выросли на 20%
Doppelmayr Turnover up By Nearly A Fifth
During the financial year 2005/2006, the famous ski lift-building Doppelmayr Group increased sales by nearly 20 percent to 581 million Euro and has clearly maintained its position as the worldwide number one in the ropeway construction market.
With 2223 employees, a total of 180 new ropeway projects were realised, many of them ski resort installations. Doppelmayr reports that it has been able to take advantage of the boom in the global ropeway market thanks to more competitive products and a worldwide presence in all segments of the market.
The company’s home market of Austria, with 16% of its business, remains the largest with the greatest portion of sales; however business in terms of new installations in Austria has declined for the second year running. In contrast, France has increased its demand for new installations. Here as well as in Italy and Switzerland, the Group has succeeded in distinctly increasing turnover. The North American market has stabilised at a relatively high level. The markets in Eastern, South-Eastern and Central Europe increased considerably and have made a significant contribution to the Group results.
With spectacular “world firsts” such as the new “Riesenrader” (Ferris wheels) in St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria, Doppelmayr’s innovative and technological leadership in the industry has increased impressively. During the period under report, 180 challenging and spectacular ropeway projects were realised.
Investments by the company during the financial year 2005/2006 amounted to 26 million Euro (previous year 16 million Euro). The largest investments were made in the “Hohe Brucke” plant in Wolfurt as well as in the construction of the new building for a plant in Stetten, Lower Austria. The investments in the “Hohe Brucke” plant focussed mainly on the further improvement of quality and capacity, while in Stetten the optimum handling of Central and Eastern European markets was the main aim.
The number of employees in the Group increased by 124 from 2099 in 2005 to 2223 in 2006. The aim of the future-oriented personnel policy is to further develop the technological, innovative and quality leadership of the Group.
Doppelmayr reports key challenges for the coming year are high energy and materials cost but that its order book remains healthy and that it is confident of another good year in 06-07.
