The 2010 results confirm the Group’s  ability to deliver a positive performance even under difficult economic conditions, once again fully meeting the forecasts communicated to the market.
 

The income statement and balance sheet figures demonstrate significant further growth: the Group is now a global player with a geographically diversified order book and a full range of high-tech products.
 

In addition, the launch of our cost-cutting plan and our new internal organization enable us to better meet the challenges of a market in which demand is progressively becoming more globalised.
