Industry Activities 

In the first half of 2016, the Würth Group increased sales to EUR 5,927 million. This corresponds to growth of 8.6 percent over the previous year. Growth in local currencies amounts to 10.0 percent. The global market leader in assembly and fastening technology reports very strong growth in Southern Europe and can therefore link up to the positive development of past quarters.
 
The German Group, too, reports 8.1 percent growth. “All in all we are satisfied with the development of the Würth Group”, says Robert Friedmann, Chairman of the Central Managing Board.

For the overall year 2016 Würth expects a sales increase of roughly EUR 11.9 billion and reckon with an adequate development of the operating result.
