Company profile
Concentration
Our focus on four distinct divisions allows Semperit to effec-tively align its business activities to specific market condi-tions. The allocation of resources to a strategically selected range of products enables us to develop our dynamic inno-vative strength and to continually optimise all value creation processes.
Internationalisation
By continually expanding our position on existing markets and moving into new markets, we are consistently push-ing ahead with the internationalisation of the Group and effectively leveraging comparative competitive advantages. Foreign business accounts for around 94% of total Group sales, enabling increased flexibility in procurement, manufac-turing and sales, which opens up new growth perspectives and serves as an additional impetus for growth.
Cost leadership
One of the most important factors contributing to the suc-cess of the Semperit Group is systematic cost management combined with the continual improvement of productivity at all levels of the company. This has enabled the Group’s com-panies to attain international cost leadership in most business segments. The Semperit Group can only ensure its growth and earnings over the long term by maintaining a sustainably competitive cost position.

The Sempermed division is one of the world’s leading suppli-ers of surgical and examination gloves. While rubber protec-tive gloves were originally only used for medical applications, Semperit now manufactures products for a broad range of customers, including the chemicals and food industries. The product portfolio consists of two main groups. The non-ster-ile examination gloves make up the largest share of glove sales, and are also used for industrial applications. The sec-ond product group consists of sterile surgical gloves that are solely targeted at medical customers. The product range also includes a selection of protective gloves for the industry and special gloves.
Today, protective gloves are not only manufactured with natural and synthetic rubbers, but also with non-latex plastics. With its Sempermed factories in Thailand, which specialise in manufacturing examination gloves in various latex varie-

In its cable car equipment segment, Semperit has been developing elastic damping elements to reduce strain and wear on key components in cooperation with the world’s largest cable car manufacturers for more than 60 years. Semperit is also a virtually exclusive supplier of vibration-damping films for all major manufacturers of skis and snowboards.
As a global market leader, Semperit produces handrails on three continents for all of the world’s major manufacturers of escalators and moving sidewalks. In the window and door profile segment, Semperit is not only the market leader in Germany, but has also built up a key position in the growth markets of Eastern Europe in recent years.

Semperit is one of the world’s leading rubber and plastics companies, and can look back at one of the longest tradi-tions in the industry, with over 180 years of experience. The company currently operates 18 production sites and a large number of sales offices on three continents: Europe, Asia and America.
Semperit develops, manufactures and markets a wide range of rubber and plastic products. Business activities in the Group are split into four divisions: Sempermed, Semperflex, Semperform und Sempertrans.
Semperit’s strategic objective is to attain a leading position for its products on international markets. The focus on the above-mentioned business segments, internationalisation along the entire value chain and cost leadership are the main cornerstones of Semperit’s business strategy.
The Semperflex division develops, manufactures and sells hydraulic hoses, industrial hoses, elastomer sheeting and wear-resistant products. Semperflex is one of the European market leaders in all of its business areas. The division also enjoys a good position on the markets for hydraulic hoses in North America and Asia.
Due to the rapid growth of the Semperflex division, business activities were restructured on an operational level at the beginning of the second quarter of 2007 to encompass two business units: Semperflex Hydraulics (hydraulic hoses and pressure washer hoses) and Semperflex Industrial (industrial hoses, elastomer sheeting and wear-resistant rubber).
Hydraulic hoses from Semperit are specially designed to meet the demands of international customers in machine construction, mining and the production of agricultural and construction machinery. They not only fulfil all general stan-dards, but also the specific additional requirements of various market segments. Industrial hoses are widely used by com-mercial, industrial and municipal customers for the safe and reliable transport of solid, liquid and gaseous materials.
Nearly all leading European manufacturers use elastomer sheeting from Semperit as a key raw material for the produc-tion of gaskets and stamped parts. Sheeting is also a key product for many technical dealers.

Research and development
The research and development activities of the Semperit Group focus on the continuing development of materials, manufacturing processes and product qualities for the benefit of the customer, the environment and the company. In this way, the business areas are provided with support in achiev-ing their operational targets and implementing high quailty standards.
The worldwide research and development centre of the Semperit Group is located in Wimpassing, Austria. It serves as the interface for all Group companies, and coordinates the ongoing know-how transfer and exchange of experience among the individual production plants.
Employees
The employees of Semperit Group are essential to successful-ly implement the company’s growth strategy. For this reason, Semperit strives to ensure the long-term retention of a highly qualified and motivated staff. It carries out numerous initia-tives designed to offer employees attractive jobs within the context of an international business environment, along with targeted training and continuing job education opportunities.
For Semperit, it is important that employees thrive in a posi-tive working environment, where each individual can per-sonally develop according to his own skills. The company promotes the professional development of its employees by means of special training programmes which prepare them for future duties and responsibilities. Furthermore, ongoing con-tinuing education measures support employees in their efforts to effectively cope with their challenging work.
Knowledge as a suCCess faCtor
In the 2006 financial year, Semperit Group achieved higher sales and an improvement in earnings, the 16th consecutive year of growth. Consolidated sales increased by 11.5%, to EUR 574.1 million, whereas earnings before tax (EBT) rose 1.4% to EUR 54.3 million, and the consolidated net profit climbed 9.0%, to EUR 40.0 million.
Rising raw material costs put a damper on profits. The price of rubber increased dramatically in the first half of the year but steadily declined thereafter. The prices for synthetic rub-bers and other raw materials and for energy resources rose successively throughout the year. This trend increased expen-diture on materials accordingly, and thus production costs as a whole. Another disadvantageous factor was the furtherdevaluation of the US dollar against the euro, the Thai baht and other important currencies. This loss in value diminished profits in dollar markets.
With an ambitious cost-cutting programme, Semperit suc-ceeded in optimising its production costs and in offsetting the higher cost of materials. The Group stepped up its research and development efforts, allowing it to optimise product quality and production processes.
Given the full order books, the capacity enlargement completed last year in Asia and its stable market position, Semperit projects growth to continue in 2007. Themanagement of the Semperit Group expects a further improvement in sales and profits.
