DITZINGEN, Germany – The TRUMPF Group posted slightly higher numbers for their 2012/13 fiscal year ending in June.

The company had sales of €2.35 billion, which was good enough for a one per cent increase over the previous years sales of €2.33 billion. This annual sales figure is the highest in the companys 90-year history.

The increase over the previous year is small, but considering the extremely difficult market conditions we faced, we can certainly be pleased with the result, said TRUMPF President Nicola Leibinger-Kammüller.

Orders received at TRUMPF during 2012/13 remained at the previous years figure of 2.33 billion Euro (after 2.35 billion Euro in the previous year).

We are expecting a pre- tax result lower than that of the previous year, said Leibinger-Kammüller. In 2011/12 the company achieved a pre- tax result of €211 million.

The final figures are due to be presented by TRUMPF at their annual press conference on October 16, 2013.
