Preussag
Article Abstract:
Preussag is involved in technology and raw materials. The group's main activities are petroleum and gas, shipbuilding, building products, plant engineering, logistics, and steel. The group's 1995 results were boosted by a rise in demand for steel, and Preussag has also increased productivity in its steel division. The group has also sold some loss-making businesses such as Hagenuk, which produces phone handsets. Demand for steel has slowed in 1996, which will affect results, but a rise in the value of the UK dollar should help boost the group's income from non-ferrous metals, gas and petroleum.
