Rocamat turnover rises 8.5% in H1 2013

7448 Rocamat, the French limestone, marble and tile specialist, posted an 8.5% increase in turnover in H1 2013 to €41.2 million, compared to the same period of 2012.

Billing for two large projects boosted sales by 44.5%. French sales rose 3% despite the unfavourable environment. Its North American subsidiary Polycor saw sales grow 22%, while its non Polycor activities posted growth of 1.6%, largely due to lower exports to China and the UK. North American growth is expected to continue into the second half of the year while, outside Polycor's activity, no growth is expected for 2013.
