for their timeless quality, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work with modern, contemporary interiors. Quite the opposite.

ohpopsi.com HOMAG ORDERS DOWN - BUT SALES ARE INCREASING
Following strong performances in previous years, the HOMAG Group’s order intake fell in the fi rst half of this year. The company was, however, able to increase its sales. “This slowdown in order intake does not come as a surprise,” said CEO Dr Daniel Schmitt. “After two years of exceptionally high investments, our customers are now more cautious due to high infl ation and interest rates. We see this in all global regions.” But as a result of the high order backlog at the beginning of the year, sales rose to €817 million in the period, exceeding the Schopfl och-based leader in integrated solutions for production in the woodworking industry’s already high €782 million of the previous year. “We have adjusted to the more diffi cult market environment and declining order intake by implementing effi ciency and cost-saving measures in order to strengthen our profi tability,” Dr Schmitt went on to explain.
