For the second year in a row Beckhoff Automation has closed its financial year with exceptionally high growth in turnover. Annual turnover of €465 million was achieved in 2011. This corresponds to a growth of 34% compared to 2010, in which growth of 47% had already been achieved compared to the financial crisis year of 2009. Turnover has thus been virtually doubled within two years. The number of employees grew to 2100 worldwide.
“Beckhoff can look back on a very successful financial year, it is the second robust growth year in a row and we have even exceeded our own optimistic expectations. It is particularly pleasing that all of the large markets and product groups have contributed more or less equally to the growth. Naturally we are extremely satisfied with this result,” summarises Hans Beckhoff, managing director and owner of Beckhoff Automation.
