| Fiscal year 2006/07 was extremely successful for the TRUMPF Group. It was the third straight year of strong growth. Sales rose by 18 percent to € 1.94 billion, while orders received rose by 16 percent to € 2.04 billion. The strong global economy and high demand for machinery and equipment, as well as capital goods, accounted for the growth. Currency effects slowed sales, although the company surpassed its goals for the fiscal year 2006/07 by far.
Innovative products and services and a broad presence in every growth market were factors in the company’s success. TRUMPF invested heavily in both categories during the past year. Expenditures for research and development rose by 13 percent to € 135 million. The amount of investment for fiscal year 2006/07 was € 126 million, 42 percent higher than the prior year.
New jobs were created as a result of the high growth rate throughout the world. The number of TRUMPF employees on June 30, 2007 increased by 12 percent to 7,258 worldwide. The company had 4,280 employees in Germany, a 6.8 percent increase over last year. |
