Sales up nine percent
Jungheinrich on course for growth in the first quarter
Jungheinrich continued its growth trajectory in the first quarter of the 2019 financial year. Incoming orders, net sales and all earnings figures increased compared to the same period last year despite an increasingly challenging market environment.
Dr. Volker Hues, CFO of Jungheinrich AG: "We have continued the successful development of the past year. With sales growth of 9%, we made a strong start to 2019. In this quarter, we saw the first signs of a downward trend in individual regions of the global market. Due to the ongoing geopolitical and economic challenges, we assume that we will not be able to maintain this growth for the year as a whole. The forecast for 2019 is confirmed for all key figures."
