PT Holcim Indonesia Tbk
has released its unaudited financial statements covering the company’s results
for the first quarter of 2009. Among the achievements highlighted are an increase
of sales turnover by 27 percent and a 90 percent escalation in operating
profits to Rp 252 billion.
Holcim’s success last quarter was attributed to the
brand’s strength and effective distribution of products. Despite a 35 percent
decrease in national sales volume for ready-mixed concrete – reflecting a
slowing down of major developments – Holcim recorded cement and clinker sales
volumes of 1,503,000 tons, or up by 7 percent (including exports).
