Eppendorf Group

Annual Report 2017

Eppendorf can look back at 2017 as a very satisfactory business year. The company increased its Group sales by 7.9% (at constant exchange rates), with accelerated growth in the second half of the year. That means Eppendorf’s development was better than the global market's, which grew by approximately 5%. The growth Eppendorf experienced was broadly based, with all market regions and all major product groups contributing to the positive development. As expected, our operating profit (EBIT) increased at a lower rate than sales, since Eppendorf invested heavily in the further development of the company throughout the reporting year. The investments focused mainly on research and development as well as on new business models and processes in the modernization of our infrastructure and in additional human resources. ... read more
