Overseas orders the driving force for Germany-based Edelmann group

The Edelmann packaging group said yesterday that its 2012 turnover, at €233 million, was up slightly on that of 2011.

The group said that growth was being driven by high order levels from outside its base in Germany.

Five of its 12 production sites are located outside Germany and it remained convinced that its strategy of maintaining a strong international focus was the right one.

The company is planning to acquire a company in Asia in 2013, when it is expecting to increase its turnover to €250 million.
