We are clways grateful to the companies in the report who take time to update their profile from year 10 year. They contribute grectly fo the success of the report and we hope they equally goin some benefit from reoding it and seeing how their peers are doing, We feature those companies who we believe hove the biggest sales in our region, thal is Europe, the Middle Eost ond Afri, regardless of where thei headquarters are.

However, our volumes were down refleciing the volatile noture of the economic conditions.” In the quorier, we benefited from strengthening demand in the United Stotes in most end-use markets and growth in emerging regions, which offset weaker European activity. Busi results were strong in the eerospace, automotive OEM coalings, indusiiol coatings, as wells in the architectural coatings business in the United States.” BASF: “After a weak fourth quarter in 2011, BASF’s business recovered in the firs! quartar of 2012. However, higher raw moterial costs could only be partly possed on. The company expects global economic growth to continue over the course of 2012. Uncertainty on the financial markets dampens growth prospects, Poslive sfimulus for the chemical industry will mainly ‘come from the emerging markets. BASF's expectations for the global economy in 2012 remain unchanged: * Growth of gross domestic product: 2.7% + Growth in industrial production: 4.1% + Growth in chemical production: 4.1% + An average euro/dollar exchange rate of USS1.30/€ + An average oil price of USS110/borrel” (Cover image: ©AkzoNobel Powder Coatings Lid.
