Abk Group continues to grow

ABK Group of Finale Emilia, which controls the brands ABK, Ariana/Valverde and Pisa/Flaviker (this latter acquired in November 2007), is continuing its growth.

In 2007 it reported a turnover of 103 million euro, a sharp increase on the 90 million euro of 2006.

Italian and European markets have continued to perform strongly, while Eastern Europe and the Middle East have offset the structural contraction of the US market triggered by the property crisis.

The group's success underscores its principles of team spirit, technological investment, R&D and investments in corporate and product image.
