Facts & Figures

It is not the seals we produce which make up the heart of EagleBurgmann. Nor the services we provide. After all, neither of these activities would be possible without the people behind them: namely the employees in each and every one of the organizational units worldwide who contribute so much with their commitment towards ensuring our corporation‘s success.

 Worldwide Figures (p.a. April - April)

Actual:

The EagleBurgmann Group has been operating highly successfully for many years throughout the world, providing products and services in the sphere of industrial sealing technology for diverse sectors of industry. Fiscal 2011 at EagleBurgmann was marked by a sharp upward trend in new orders during the first half-year, after which the incoming order volume stabilized at a high level. Sales rose by 10.9 percent to EUR 752.8 (previous year: 678.7) million, with overseas sales and sales in Germany respectively accounting for 83.7 and 16.3 percent of that amount.

Outlook:

The EagleBurgmann Group anticipates continued growth in 2012 as well, though at lower rates. Given the economic situation, not only in the eurozone but also in other economies, the Group will rigorously follow the cost and liquidity management policy already established and successfully implemented in the years previously, with the objective of being able to respond quickly to changing business and market conditions. Production capacity in the Middle East was ramped up in order to cover the rising demand from the oil & gas and petrochemical sectors for products and services, and two fully equipped service centers were opened in 2011 in the Saudi cities of Jubail and Yanbu. The past five years have seen sales in Saudi Arabia rising annually by up to 45 percent, and the aim is to increase market share there in the sphere of mechanical seals to 30 percent by 2015. In 2011 EagleBurgmann continued its strategic growth project towards raising market share in the USA, achieving further growth in sales and market share among OEMs and raising the company’s visibility and reputation in its target markets. Spring 2011 saw work commence on the construction of a further company building in Houston, aimed at enhancing processes and workflows and being even better able to meet the requirements made by the company’s regional and global customers on products and services.

That said, there was also investment in the company’s operations in Germany as well. “The EagleBurgmann project with an investment volume of over EUR 40 million for the construction of a new production hall with an overall floor area of 15,600 m2 is due for completion shortly. This means that in fall 2012 we can start the step-by-step relocation of production from Wolfratshausen to Eurasburg”, reports Dr. Stefan Sacré. Work continued on the conversion of the ERP environment into a homogeneous SAP environment in Germany. The objective is to optimize the management and core business processes, and the actual implementation will take place from July 2012 onwards and be completed on schedule by next year.
