Consolidated Financial Statements - L. Possehl & Co. mbH

HEALTHY
GROWTH –
Profi table and Robust
Possehl has already evolved very successfully for more than six generations under this motto.
This guideline helps us through turbulent times such as these, in particular.
Following the initial corporate acquisitions of the past year and in the fi rst few months of the
current year, we are continuing to be on the lookout for new partners – partners that fi t with us,
are capable and have a solid foundation, a good market position and a positive image. They stem
from mature industries with robust structures and ideally render a service that is diffi cult to
replace. We are open-minded and look forward to having new members join our Group.
We promise all of our companies that they will have the capacity to grow, and with a healthy
corporate perspective. We grow because our companies develop successfully. We preserve their
corporate scope for development and support them on a strategic and fi nancial level. Our com-
panies grow because they are able to concentrate on that which sets them apart: achieving good
performance, on the basis of their particular know-how and their many years of experience.
