Strong Sulzer performance for 2000
Sulzer Pumps sales increased by 21% (11% adjusted for acquisitions) to CHF 855 million (prior year: CHF 709 million). This is attributable to the improved market situation in the second half of the year, particularly in oil and gas, power generation as well as pulp and paper markets.
The prospects for Sulzer Industries are strong, based on the restructuring performed, the acquisitions of 2000 and the potential for further margin improvement.
