FRANCE: Weak European Markets Hit Chargeurs’ Results
French textile group Chargeurs SA has cited weak consumer demand in several European countries for a 10 per cent year-on-year fall in first quarter revenue to $244.3 million. In a statement, the company said the German market was the main offender. Chargeurs registered a $41.9m net profit in 2001 compared to $47.3m in the previous year.
