Air Liquide Electronics annual results 2016

On February 15, Air Liquide has announced its 2016 Annual Results.

For Electronics, up +4.3% in 2016, (+6.2% as published) sales in the first half of the year were strong. The second half was slower and was marked in particular by slower sales of Equipment and Installations and by a comparison basis that was unfavorable as compared with 2015 due to the exceptionally high price of neon in 2015. Over the full year, growth was driven by China, Singapore, and Taiwan. It was also driven by solid sales of carrier gases in Asia and continued strong overall demand for Advanced Materials, with sales growth of nearly +20% in 2016.
