Philippe Brégi, Chairman and CEO, comments: « The strong growth in sales of our Anglo-Saxon subsidiaries has partially compensated the decrease in activity of Egide SA, still penalized by the slow demand in optical telecom and by the extensive drop of a major export customer in infrared. In the absence of a significant upturn of the worldwide economy, Egide sales would stay stable during the two coming quarters. »
