The Rougier Africa International branch recorded Euro 103.7 million in revenues for the first nine months of 2015, an increase of 15.2% compared with the previous year. Following a buoyant first half, the third quarter’s shipments from Cameroon and Congo were affected by the resumption of the issues at Douala port, with highly volatile shipments. In Gabon, sales have continued to improve.
The Import-Distribution France branch generated Euro 21.8 million in revenues for the first nine months of the year, up 4.5% from the previous year. Revenues picked up in the 3Q, with 14.9% growth, driven by the diversification and strengthening of Rougier Sylvaco Panneaux’s product ranges, in a French market that is still very competitive.
