But in good manager German Bernd Hoffmann did say no more

My first: the French manufacturer of trailer trailers that, following the bankruptcy of the Group General Trailer he was part, was introduced into receivership as of June 1, 2006. My second: the German manufacturer of semi - trailers Schmitz Cargobull cartonne in the same market, including French, and has much to do still better in the future. My everything: look for the error.

A new double digit growth is expected for the current

Schmitz Cargobull ended the 2004-2005 fiscal year on a turnover (CA) to 30. It was known that the market of road semi-trailers then had an exceptionally strong demand and many predicted the following year would break with the progression in double digits. However, the German manufacturer has just announced a 2005-2006 CA that displays 10 from 2004-2005. To top it off, Bernd Hoffmann, the President of the Council, is very optimistic with respect to fiscal year 2006-2007: "registered trends and performance in the first two quarters of 2006 we can reasonably rely on a new two-digit growth".

Despite the sharp rise in the price of raw materials used (steel, rubber, aluminum, etc.), the profit before taxes was maintained at the same level as for 2004-2005. But, in good manager German, Bernd Hoffmann did say no more.

On the other hand, he shows more talkative on production figures. Thus, the 2005-2006 fiscal year ended by the construction of approximately 36 000 road semi-trailers, including 18 500 version sliding curtains, 11 500 vans, 3 000 tippers and 3,000 chassis mobile container or door-cases.

The France include the three markets which Schmitz expects more than

It is indisputable that Schmitz had and will continue to benefit from two key assets: on the one hand, its operational efficiency; on the other hand, the presence of long date of Central Europe and is today emerging markets.

The two combine even. Production based on modular structures contributes to operational efficiency because it allows to adapt each product to the specific needs of local markets with each of the characteristics in Europe. Hence the breakthrough in those emerging. As much more than a network of 700 partners provides service transport of Gibraltar to the Urals.

However, for the fiscal year, the highest growth should still come from three traditional markets: the France, the Spain and the Italy. The France is the object of attention with the opening of two new Cargobull Trailer centres: Bordeaux and Nancy. For the horizon of the end of 2007, this network will thus be 40 direct settlements in Europe.

The success of the new division Finance in fact today a real joker

Five years ago, Schmitz created a Cargobull Finance division in partnership with a financial group. Its success today is a real joker. After markets German, Austrian, Belgian, British, French, Italian, Dutch and Polish, the offer will be extended to those Danish, Swedish, etc. Objective: Fund here in 2010 a fleet of 35 000 trailers representing a total value of 1.1 billion.

And trailer in all that Well the French Manager could be taken up by the Chinese group Mmic (China International Marine Containers).
