Hima Paul HildebrandtGmbH结束了2016年的营业年，销售收入为1.263亿欧元，比上一年增长了6％。新增长的主要来源是流程行业的一系列包装解决方案以及铁路业务的积极发展。Hima还进行了战略投资并建立了全球合作伙伴关系，以确保公司的未来。
HIMA集团首席执行官Sankar Ramakrishnan说：“流程业的一般经济状况，尤其是石油和天然气行业并不容易。”“我们很高兴在这种情况下我们设法实现了进一步的增长。除其他事项外，我们的合理性能是由于增长市场Apac和中东的有希望的趋势，对管道，涡轮机，燃烧器和锅炉的包装解决方案的强烈需求，以及我们在铁路行业的良好业务。” Ramakrishnan说。
Basis for further growth
修玛为进一步发展奠定了基础ging strategic partnerships in the past business year. The most important of these was a EUR3.1 million investment in a global ERP system, with implementation kick-off in 2016. The international rollout will extend over several years. A cooperation agreement with Freudenberg IT concluded late last year will create a uniform, reliable, secure and accessible global infrastructure for HIMA, enabling the company to respond even faster and more effectively to individual customer needs. “Both initiatives are part of a long-term digitalization and growth strategy. They basically enable us to offer our customers the same high level of performance and quality everywhere in the world”, adds HIMA CFO Reinhard Seibold.
HIMA founded a fully owned subsidiary in China to expand their international business and give them a presence in the Chinese market for their broad spectrum of technologies, services and training courses. Reorganization of the company's activities in the Asia Pacific region also had a sustained positive impact. Founding a new regional headquarters in Singapore in early 2016 represented a key component of the regional growth strategy.
铁路业务的良好发展
HIMA’s business in the rail sector also showed a very positive trend. “We were able to expand our rail business in 2016 with above-average growth. We have now completed rail projects in more than 30 countries”, comments Steffen Philipp, Managing Partner of HIMA.
COTS safety controllers, such as those manufactured by HIMA, are becoming the standard in the rail industry due to their deployment diversity and their distinctly lower acquisition and life cycle costs compared to proprietary technology. System integrators, rolling stock manufacturers and railway operators can use HIMA’s COTS controllers to implement their safety solutions economically, easily and quickly for applications including interlockings, level crossings and rail vehicles. HIMA’s strategic goal is to position the company as the first choice for safety in the rail sector.
新的组织取向
To focus the company strategy on further global growth and closer customer contact, HIMA created the autonomous Process and Rail business unit for the process industry and the rail sector, respectively. Each business unit is headed by a business unit manager with global responsibility. By setting up these new organizational units, HIMA aims to boost effective access to new markets and strengthen existing customer contacts.
