大多数化学品公司通过产品提价、降低经营费用等手段,直接或间接提高了利润率。对欧洲主要化学品公司来说,今年第一季度的销售和利润报告显示出了一些负面的迹象。但在总体上看,这也表明了该行业正在有效地阻止经济的滑坡。 Most chemical companies through product price increases, lower operating costs and other means, directly or indirectly, increased profit margins. For the major European chemical companies, the first quarter of this year’s sales and profits report shows some negative signs. But overall, this also shows that the industry is effectively blocking the economic downturn.
