Sales of 54,6 Million Euros in 2010 after 37,2 Million in the year before confirm a successful turnaround. Also the preliminary profit figures with an EBIT of 5 Million Euros are quite impressive. After a loss of 0.60 Euros per share in 2009 last year shows a profit of 0.40 Euros per share.
With a sales goal of 70 Million Euros management also stays optimistic for 2011. The capital increase fully placed in December of last year will allow for additional acquisition in line with the successful 'buy & build' strategy.
With 19 plants in 10 countries Impreglon is one of the leading surface technology companies worldwide.

Long-lasting Performance for Hydropower Plant
Long-lasting Performance for Hydropower Plant
Impreglon AG Switzerland develops on-site coating method for Straflo Turbines.
The hydropower plant Augst am Rhein, near Basel, produces up to 250 million kw/h of electricity per year. Since 1994, seven Straflo (straight-flow) turbines have been in operation at the modern low-head river power plant. With this specific type of tubular turbine, the turbine and generator form one unit. They are not linked by a drive shaft. This means that the water flows through the generator rotor.
The rotor disk is no more than 2 mm away from the turbine. The excessive force of the water causes the rotor disk sheath to wear, resulting in grooves up to 10 mm deep. When wear is excessive, turbine output falls dramatically. The power plant can no longer generate the anticipated amount of electricity.
The PlasmaCoat® method enabled the damaged sections to be coated such that the turbines could achieve maximum output for up to 80,000 hours longer. The new coating can be applied without refinishing the parts. It must be applied precisely to ensure that it does not exceed the distance of max. 2 mm between the turbine and the rotor disk. This is possible only with devices developed specifically for this onsite application. With this process, a turbine can be coated within four days, meaning that standstill times are dramatically reduced.
Impreglon Switzerland has treated four rotor disk sheaths on Straflo turbines over the last few years. Special know-how and continuously high output are the key.

Impreglon acquires majority of Hi Tech company
With a share of 75% Impreglon SE acquired the majority of newly found LASGA Lasertechnik und Metallbearbeitung GmbH in Hamburg-Schenefeld, a spin-off of the Günter Kubbe GmbH, originally found in 1983. Similar to Impreglon's daughter company MBJ Maschinenbau Jessenitz GmbH, LASGA's main business is laser cutting and welding of metal components prior to coating.
Whereas MBJ concentrates on working with heavy metal plates and sheets to be coated later LASGA's speciality centres around thinner metal sheets made of stainless steel. In combination with Impreglon Oberflächentechnik GmbH of Lüneburg with its unique coating operation, Lasga nicely complements services offered by the group. In 2011 LASGA expects sales of slightly below 5 million Euro. In order to show that LASGA is part of the Impreglon group the company name will change to Impreglon Lasertechnik und Metallbearbeitung GmbH.
After a 46% sales increase to over 54 million Euro in 2010 and now with 19 plants in 10 countries Impreglon expects sales of approximately 70 million Euro for 2011.
