Apparel Division: hightech protective clothing
This division realised a growth of 18.1 % compared to last year (EUR 68.4 million in 2011 compared to EUR 57.9 million in 2010). Growth is situated in almost all markets in which the division is active (professional protective clothing, military, outdoor and leisure wear).

The sales of this division increased with 3.1 %, to EUR 37.8 million, against EUR 36.6 million over the same period last year. Mainly the industrial pastes have contributed to this growth.

Outlook: The current economic situation does not allow to confirm that the growth of YTD sales will continue in the fourth quarter.
