Sales of decorative products for furniture and interior work saw an increase of 3.9%. Even though the sales volume of floorings (retail products) decreased in the 1H, the generated revenue rose 3.9% to € 168.4 million. For building products, Egger had to accept a revenue decline of 5% due to sinking prices in spite of increased OSB sales.
Walter Schiegl, head of production/technology at the Egger group, predicts a stable development of the overall economic situation for the 2H. The enterprise has high expectations for decorative products and retail products. However, as the OSB market is currently overstocked, the demand and result situation of building products sales is not expected to recover for now.
