Roland Kasper, President and CEO, comments:
"Over the second quarter, organic growth was 4.2 percent. Several regions reported strong growth, notably Eastern Europe with Russia at the forefront, and North America. Margins were affected by high raw material prices and lower volumes at some of the Group's factories. Price increases are under way to offset raw material costs, while we are seeing a market that remains strong, and many attractive projects."
