CRH上半年發(fā)展投入7.4億瑞士法郎

 

　　在重型建筑材料方面，波蘭、烏克蘭和葡萄牙的部分地區(qū)開了個(gè)好頭，這些地區(qū)的盈利彌補(bǔ)了西班牙和愛爾蘭地區(qū)活動(dòng)減少的部分，因此，以上地區(qū)性增長(zhǎng)顯示為20%

 

　　CHR在波蘭和西班牙安道盧西亞購(gòu)買了兩個(gè)采石場(chǎng)，同時(shí)在土耳其購(gòu)買了一個(gè)采石場(chǎng)和兩個(gè)配料廠。CRH首次進(jìn)入了匈牙利市場(chǎng)，購(gòu)買了Ferrobeton，一個(gè)混凝土產(chǎn)品公司，其包括5個(gè)工廠。CRH還購(gòu)買了在英國(guó)，比利時(shí)，德國(guó)，瑞典和中國(guó)的建筑產(chǎn)品業(yè)務(wù)。在分配方面，1.08億瑞士法郎花費(fèi)在了瑞士和荷蘭的18個(gè)市場(chǎng)渠道上。在建筑產(chǎn)品方面，由于英國(guó)市場(chǎng)特別薄弱，運(yùn)營(yíng)額下降了10%。

 

　　在美國(guó)，CRH的花費(fèi)這段時(shí)期總計(jì)1.17億瑞士法郎，包括13個(gè)總值6700萬的重型建筑產(chǎn)品業(yè)務(wù)。在建筑產(chǎn)品方面，美國(guó)地區(qū)開辟了三個(gè)新的業(yè)務(wù)，加入了一個(gè)合伙投資。在分配方面，在智利和美國(guó)投資了兩個(gè)項(xiàng)目。由于5月到7月的潮濕天氣對(duì)道路相關(guān)業(yè)務(wù)的影響，美國(guó)潛在市場(chǎng)容量下降。

　　CRH spends €740m on acquisitions

　　CRH has spent €740m in the year to date on acquisitions and is indicating a pre-tax profit for the　first six months of around €600m, compared with €670m last year. For the full year, CRH is currently　expecting a pre-tax decline in high single figures after 15 years of consecutive profit and　earnings growth, with the falling dollar reducing profits by around €80m.

 

　　Commenting on these developments, Liam O’Mahony, CRH chief executive, said: “The first　half of 2008 has seen continuing development momentum with total expenditure of over €700m.　The initiatives announced today consolidate the potential for performance and growth across our　operating divisions, enhancing market presence and leadership positions in the sectors in which we　operate.”

 

　　In heavy building materials, a strong start in Poland and the Ukraine and some recovery in　Portugal have more than compensated for the reduced activity in Spain and Ireland, suggesting a　profit improvement in the region of 20 per cent.

 

　　Two quarries were purchased in Poland and Andalusia, while the Turkish associate bought a　quarry and two batching plants. CRH has made its first entry into Hungary, buying Ferrobeton, a　concrete products producer with five plants and bought other building products businesses in　Britain, Belgium, Germany, Sweden and China. In distribution, €108m was spent on 18 outlets in　Switzerland and The Netherlands. In building products, turnover was down by some 10 per cent,　with Britain being notably weak.

 

　　In the Americas acquisitions in the period amounted to €117m and included 13 heavy building　materials businesses that were bought for a total of €67m. In building products, three new　businesses were acquired in the United States and a joint venture partner was bought out, while in　distribution, two acquisitions were made in Chile and the USA. Underlying volumes in the Americas　declined, with wet weather in May and June further hitting the roads related operations.
