The Mikron Group, a specialist in the production of machining and assembly systems, posted an order intake of CHF 84.8 million in the first quarter of the 2008 financial year and recorded net sales of CHF 68.3 million. Both values represent a very good level. Order intake (-2.9%) almost achieved the previous year’s extraordinarily high volume and exceeded expectations by a substantial margin.

Achieving a significant improvement in operating profit (EBIT) remains the top priority for the 2008 financial year. The group of investors headed by Johann N. Schneider-Ammann is extending its commitment by another three years.
