GREECE: Hellenic Fabrics Endures Tough H1
Textile group and major denim maker Hellenic Fabrics on Thursday posted a 22 per cent slide in first half consolidated pre-tax profit to 2.5 million euros from the year-ago period. The company said consolidated turnover for the six month period fell 14 per cent year-on-year to 41 million euros as it was hurt by the tough global economic environment and the weak US dollar.
