DENMARK: NOVOZYMES TARGETS 10% ANNUAL GROWTH
Article Abstract:
Novozymes, the Danish producer of enzymes, reported a 21% growth in operating profit to DKr382mn (US$44.4mn) in the first half of 2001, which outstrips the company's expectations of a 10% growth for the whole of 2001. The company plans to reach its target of an annual growth of at least 10% through acquisitions at the initial stage and through participation in pharmaceutical/technological R&D projects at a later stage. Novozymes has boosted its sales of enzymes to the food industry by 19% and reports a 52% increase in sales of enzymes to the animal feeds. The company is also on the look-out of a partner for the development of a completely new type of antibiotic.
