Symrise sees most growth in Asia Pacific

Symrise says its group sales were up to 16.4%, as 46% of sales were generated in emerging markets in the second half of the year. The company's net income for the period has more than doubled to EUR 88.8 million ($116.96 million), as the company expects a sales growth of at least 8% based on currency terms. On a regional basis, the company says Asia Pacific was the most dynamic region with 21% sales growth (14% at local currency), closely followed by Latin America which - despite strong reference values - reported a 20% rise in sales (15% at local currency).
