Dear Reader,
        
        
          Looking back, last year was a successful business year in which Loba Chemie significantly exceeded
        
        
          its earnings targets. We achieved strong growth and were able to further increase our profitability.
        
        
          Moreover, we laid important groundwork for Loba Chemie's future development – in terms of both
        
        
          people and strategy. With our R&D expansion plans we are further strengthing our company and
        
        
          ensuring our future competitiveness.
        
        
          The positive development of our business is driven by the performance of our skilled and dedicated
        
        
          team at Loba Chemie. On behalf of the Management, I sincerely thank all employees and
        
        
          customers worldwide for their contribution to LobaChemie's success.
        
        
          We were able to markedly increased our sales and earnings compared with the previous year. We
        
        
          sold higher volumes in all segments and divisions across the globe – this would have not been
        
        
          possible without the dedication and hard work of our distribution and sales network.
        
        
          I amalso very optimistic about the future development of our company, which the LobaChemie
        
        
          team will shape with great energy, style, and enthusiasm. Everyone contributes his or her own
        
        
          experiences, perspectives, ideas and skills at work each day.
        
        
          I amconvinced that with your valued support and loyalty LOBA CHEMIE will continue to innovate
        
        
          and seize opportunities in the future.
        
        
          Thanking You,
