LIQUI MOLY with turnover jump in May

Result for month 65 percent above previous year

Ulm, June 3, 2011 – The German motor oil and additive manufacturer LIQUI MOLY registered a sensational turnover leap in May of 65 percent in comparison to the month in the previous year. That corresponds to growth of around €15 million to €37 million. Managing director and owner Ernst Prost now raised the turnover goal for this year to €400 million.

In May LIQUI MOLY produced 9,000 tons of lubricant and one million cans of additives in Germany. "We used to need an entire year to achieve what we achieved in May in sales and the factory", says Ernst Prost. The turnover jump is even more noteworthy when one considers that the previous May had already set a sales record. In addition to the generally positive development of the business situation, the causes for the growth also lie in the greatly increasing export business, which nearly doubled its turnover for the month.

"However, most important are the employees: What they achieved in May is simply unbelievable", says Ernst Prost. "It's not as if we were just twiddling our thumbs last year, on the contrary. And nonetheless we were now able to go one better with this extreme growth. A huge compliment to my team."

Prost has now increased the turnover goal for 2011 to €400 million. In the past year the turnover amounted to €289 million. "Our goal sounds audacious, but is feasible, because we are fast, flexible and close to customers", Prost explains.
