Larger orders from a broad range of customer industries contributed to this record.
GEA says that this is evidence of the company’s resilience to adverse commodity prices, such as a still depressed milk price.
“The achievement of this order intake is the result of an extraordinary effort of GEA’s employees across all levels and functions in the new OneGEA organization and highlights that customers seek and trust in GEA’s engineering products and solutions more than ever,” said Jürg Oleas, CEO of GEA.
GEA will issue preliminary figures for 2015 and the outlook for 2016 on February 4, with an audited annual report to follow on March 10.
