20.07.2010: Orders, production and sales have increased during the first half of 2010

According to the IVAM survey, incoming orders have developed particularly well in the first half of 2010: 62.9 percent of the German microtechnology, nanotechnology and advances materials companies have improved in this area. Production and sales has also improved for more than half of respondents. Corporate financing is still a weak point: more than half of the companies (58.8 percent) have been able to keep the financing level stable, but the situation got even worse for 14.4 percent.
