In 2011, the KSB Group s sales revenue increased by 7.2 percent, exceeding the two billion euros mark for the first time. The pump and valve manufacturer achieved a total sales revenue of € 2,079.1 million and posted growth in the three segments – pumps, valves and service – as well as in all four sales regions.
The Group’s order intake grew more slowly than sales revenue. It totalled € 2,132.3 million, up 2.8 percent on the previous year. While KSB enjoyed good growth in its general business with standard pumps and valves, project business was held back by continued reluctance among many investors to build major new facilities.
