Cognis 2009 results: strong earnings and cash flow
Resilient, innovative product portfolio defies global downturn
Cognis CEO Antonio Trius comments: 'Our strategy and the restructuring of
our portfolio have really paid off during this time of crisis: amid the
uncertainty of 2009, our business model and our new organizational
structure with the three business units Care Chemicals, Nutrition&Health,
and Functional Products have proven themselves highly resilient and agile.
We reacted swiftly and decisively to the global downturn. Our portfolio of
innovative products and concepts aligned with the wellness and
sustainability trends, strengthened by the launch of about 50 new products,
has enabled us to leverage our strong position in dynamic markets
effectively. This, combined with our systematic efforts to improve
efficiency and productivity, meant that we were able to improve our
operating result despite the decrease in sales volumes seen last year.'
The full announcement may be also found on the Cognis Investor Relations
