Incoming orders and turnover at the K\u00fcbler Group from Villingen-Schwenningen have developed better than expected this year. This was reported by the two shareholders and managing directors Lothar and Gebhard K\u00fcbler at the company's annual press conference. They attributed the business successes to the \u201einnovation marathon\u201c initiated a few years ago. They presented slip rings, which are used in packaging and filling technology among other things, as one of the successes of this internal company initiative.<\/p>\n

The Group's sales target, which had been set at 66 million euros, will be achieved, the company bosses announced. 70 per cent of sales would be generated abroad. Turnover in the Chinese, Indian and US markets is growing particularly strongly - at well over 20 per cent, in some cases even 30 per cent. Sales growth of 14 per cent was achieved in the EU region and ten per cent in Germany.<\/p>\n
