Piet van der Slikke, CEO: "IMCD’s first six months showed record growth with an increase of 58% of operating EBITA. The trend of strong demand and increased prices continued. In addition, we were able to attract new product lines, and the acquired businesses performed beyond expectation. Obviously, there is a lot of macro-economic and political uncertainty which makes future developments difficult to predict. We remain however confident in our strong and resilient business model operating with a highly competent and motivated staff across the world in various market segments with a wide variety of products."
