Hempel ramt af faldende omsætning

Den danske producent af skibsmaling Hempel, er ligesom mange andre maritime virksomheder, ramt af den globale afmatning. Efter en årrække med markant stigende salg er omsætningen stagneret, og fremtiden tegner ikke lys.

"Vi kan ikke komme uden om, at 2009 og 2010 tegner til at bliver udfordrende", siger adm. direktør Pierre-Yves Julien til dagbladet Børsen.

Hempel har store kunder blandt containerrederierne, både til bemaling og rustbeskyttelse af skibe såvel som containerne, og nedturen i branchen medførte et skarp fald i salget i andet halvdel af 2008.

Sammenlagt faldt omsætningen en enkelt procent til 6,8 milliarder kroner, mens bundlinjen skrumpede 18 procent til 425 millioner kroner. Heri indgår dog engangsomkostninger til nedlukning af produktionen i Danmark.

Uden denne udgift, ville bundlinjen være steget med to procent.

På årsbasis faldt salget af skibsmaling fra 289 millioner liter i 2007 til 273 millioner liter i 2008. Men reelt er salget gået næsten helt i stå siden november.
