Lonza remains on track
In the third quarter 2013, Lonza’s business performance remained on track as anticipated. The Specialty Ingredients market segment delivered a good performance despite a continued weak recreational water market. The Pharma&Biotech market segment delivered as expected. Strong cost controls and process improvements continue across the organization. The overall headcount at the end of September was 10’045, reflecting a reduction of 744 positions since the beginning of the year. Lonza reiterates its 2013 CORE-EBIT guidance growth of approximately 10%.
Richard Ridinger, CEO Lonza, said: "In our half year update, we have announced a number of important decisions regarding our footprint and portfolio. Our organization is working intensively on the implementation of these numerous transformational activities which will help increase our productivity, reduce our complexity and transform our business portfolio. 2013 is for Lonza a true transformational year and I’m happy to see the new organization taking shape."
