2010 has been a successful year for Dieffenbacher. From January 2010 to January 2011, Dieffenbacher and its subsidiary Dieffenbacher SWPM received a total of 26 orders for continu¬ous panel systems.

Orders from China made a significant contribution to this success with China alone accounting for 17 lines, nine of which are CPS lines and eight ContiPlus.

The order books are currently full to the tune of more than €750m, thereby ensuring capacity utilisation in all of the group’s plants until Q1 of 2012.
