Bietigheim-Bissingen, May 7, 2013 – Dürr accomplished a successful start to the year 2013, recording a constant level of strong demand in the first quarter. Incoming orders, at € 680.4 million, were slightly higher than the previous year’s good result, and up by 5.9% compared with the fourth quarter of 2012.
