Based on the current strong business performance we expect to generate sales revenues of more than €500 million in the fiscal year 2011.The financial results we announced this morning demonstrate that we were able to return our EBIT margin to normal, even during the first year of the Trinos integration. And we are going to show the same strict discipline in connection with the Adixen integration," continued Bender. Jean-Yves Guegan, president of Adixen said, "The combination of Adixen and Pfeiffer Vacuum, two leaders in pumping solutions and leak detection systems, will create a powerful force in the industry. Our portfolio and talent meshes quite well with that of Pfeiffer Vacuum and will create a platform to better serve both companies' existing customers as well as drive growth in overall market share." Prior to the signing of the contract, a hearing of employee councils of the Alcatel-Lucent group is required. The acquisition is planned to take effect on December 31.
