Successful start of new financial year for CropEnergies – Revenue increases by 66 percent
CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, has increased its revenues by 66% to € 56.4 (34.1) million € in the first three months of the current financial year (1 March to 31 May 2008). Besides increased selling prices, this was mainly due to higher bioethanol sales. Supported by a growth in revenues and an increased use of sugar syrups instead of grain, operating profit reached last year’s level of € 5.5 (5.5) million despite higher grain prices. After preparatory cost for Wanze and a capital expenditure-related decrease in the interest result, net earnings in the first quarter amounted to € 3.0 (4.2) million.

Zeitz bioethanol plant expansion completed
CropEnergies AG, Mannheim, has completed the expansion of the capacity of their bioethanol plant in Zeitz, Saxony-Anhalt, as planned. After a construction time for the extension of only 13 months, the original annual capacity of the Zeitz location of 260,000 m³ of bioethanol has been increased by a further 100,000 m³ to 360,000 m³. This increase was carried out in two stages. The existing plant, which processes cereals and sugar syrups into bioethanol, was expanded by an additional 40,000 m³ of bioethanol per annum. The newly-built plant with an annual capacity of 60,000 m³ exclusively processes sugar syrups originating from the neighbouring sugar factory. With this expansion, the Zeitz factory is by far Europe's largest bioethanol plant.
