En qu te de croissance, Melexis vise une acquisition/
Article Abstract:
Melexis might invest up to US$ 100mn into an acquisition in 1999, with Japan as a privileged target as the group aims to reach US$ 5mn in sales by the year 2002 in this market worth 11-12mn cars produced a year. The Belgian semiconductors maker, specializing in the automotive industry, would like to perform so well in Japan as it did in the US. In addition to a contribution of US$ 2.5mn out of a total result of US$ 15mn in the first half of 1998, the acquisition of MikroChips in 1997 supplied Melexis with a staff with very high sales skills. The company expects a 60% increase in sales in 1998. The loss of the tax exemption status in the end of 1999 (which the company might face through relocating a number of activities in other countries) should impact the net profit in the year 2000, which should be similar to the 1999 performance according to Melexis.

Le chocolatier Ferrero (re) construit ses halls de stockage Arlon
Article Abstract:
Ferrero, the Italian chocolate company has invested BFr 400mn in its production unit at Arlon in Belgium, which makes a turnover of BFr 8bn, and which exports 95% of its output. This money will be used to rebuild the storage unit which was destroyed by a fire in October 1994, and for the construction of a palletisation building. These two buildings will be entirely automated, and therefore will not result in the creation of new jobs.
