After convincing numbers in the last quarter of 2010 the first quarter of 2011 confirmed these with record results. Aside from a strong 47% sales increase to 18.231m Euro, the rise of EBIT and EBITDA margins by over 100% is even more impressive. With 19 cents against 10 cents in the first quarter of 2010, earnings per share almost doubled despite an increase in the total number of shares by 29%.
The additional production capacities created prior to the world economic crisis, which proved to be costly and counterproductive during the crisis, now produce positive results due to the increased turn over. The same applies to the cost saving measures implemented during the crisis. The constant flow of new orders, several new sustainable coating processes due to be released soon and the continuation of the successful 'Buy & Build' strategy should also lead to record numbers for the full year of 2011.

Drying drum coating improves performance
Application
In the process of manufacturing nonwoven material, cellulose passes over drying drums and then over large path rolls. The cellulose is dehydrated by the drying drums and, step-by-step, converted to a web of fabric.
Requirements
The residual moisture causes the material to stick to the drum. Sticking, combined with high production speeds, means that the drums wear quickly. The warm, humid environment promotes corrosion.
Coating
A special combination of PlasmaCoat® and MagnaCoat® provides the necessary mechanical stability, excellent corrosion protection, outstanding nonstick properties and very good barrier protection in an aggressive hot and humid environment.
Benefits
Prevents machine downtime and expensive damage. Time-consuming cleaning measures can be eliminated and productivity is increased considerably.

Another Group acquisition
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.
