Data
A year of ups and downs  

In the period under review, Voith Industrial Services quickly felt the effects of the world-wide economic crisis. Even under adverse circumstances, however, the Group Division was still able to develop its business in certain areas and convince new customers and segments of its capabilities.  

The Facility Services Europe and Facility Services Americas divisions provide many of their services to the international automotive industry. For them, the global crisis in this industry largely shaped the course of business. While orders declined in Europe, the Group Division was able to stand its ground in North and South America.  

Thanks to its powerful market position as the leading provider of refinery services, Process Services saw long-standing contracts renewed in the period under review. In the automotive industry important maintenance contracts could be extended successfully. New and follow-on agreements were also signed in both sections.  

The internationalization of business in the fast-growing market for wind power facility maintenance advanced successfully. Furthermore the services for the rail industry continued the pattern of growth experienced in the preceding years.  

Structure for future growth now in place  

At the start of fiscal 2008/09, Voith Industrial Services pooled its entire Asian business in the Voith Industrial Services Asia division. This organizational change leaves the Group Division well placed to tap market potential for technical servcies in China and India in particular.  

After the end of fiscal 2008/09, the subsidiaries Hörmann Engineering, Voith Industrial Services Engineering and CeBeNetwork were brought together under the name Voith Engineering Services. Bundling the Group’s contract engineering activities in this way should in future enable Voith to optimize its penetration of this demanding segment.
