Description:
Stuttgart, is a systems partner for the international automobile industry. A specialist for automotive air conditioning and engine cooling systems, the Behr Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of original equipment for passenger and commercial vehicles. Sales in the 2006 business year came to around 3.2 billion euros. Currently Behr employs 18,600 staff at 17 development, 30 production sites and 13 joint ventures worldwide. Our goal is to expand the company's international position as the leader in innovations and become the number one in customer service worldwide. Our values act as an inner compass, helping us keep our long-term focus in our day-to-day business dealings, which are sometimes based on short-term considerations. Every employee has the right and the responsibility to live and protect the Behr values. The three Behr values, "innovative", "people-oriented" and "reliable" were first formulated for our parent company in 1995. In 2000, they were extended to apply to the whole Group, and "cost-focused" was added in 2002. That has now been changed to "results-focused", and the new value "cooperative" has also been added. Therefore, the Behr values are: Innovative People-oriented Reliable Results-focused Cooperative We are committed to the continued successful development of Behr on the basis of our culture. This will provide opportunities for our employees and make us a viable long-term partner in the marketplace. By 2015, our goal is to establish a recognizable Behr culture in all Behr locations worldwide, one that is also found in our joint ventures. Without denying our German origin, we will give the various local cultures sufficient opportunity to contribute their own strengths. Automotive Supplier Behr: Growth in Sales in the First Half of 2007 Frankfurt am Main/Stuttgart, September 12, 2007 In the first half of 2007, the Behr Group noted a five percent growth in sales to 1.72 billion euros; adjusted to include currency effects, this increase comes in at ten percent. The number of employees rose by three percent to 19,157 (18,594 as of Dec. 31, 2006). Companies in the Czech Republic, India, Mexico and Germany contributed primarily to this increase. As of June 30, 2007, 7,228 staff were employed in Germany (7,094 as of Dec. 31, 2006). Investments came to 68 million euros, at the same level as the previous year, of which Germany accounted for almost one-third. Additional focal points were new product launches in North America and the expansion of the activities in the Czech Republic. The primary reason for this growth in sales is due to positive developments in the automotive industry’s growth markets — Brazil, Eastern Europe, India and China. Behr was also able to further expand its strong position in Western Europe and in the commercial vehicle sector. Sales of front-end modules and in the spare parts business have likewise developed positively. New plants and production start-ups in Ostrava/Czech Republic, Pune/India and Saltillo/Mexico strengthened Behr’s position in crucial growth markets. The corporation has expanded its activities in Asia by founding two new companies — Behr Korea Inc. and Behr Industry Lince Railway Cooling System Co., Ltd. in China. In the first half of 2007, technically innovative and complex projects went into series production. Since the beginning of the year, Behr has been supplying an American commercial vehicle manufacturer with charge air coolers for low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation. An additional commercial vehicle customer is now being supplied with cooling modules using just-in-sequence delivery. In addition, for the first time, Behr has taken over the complete thermal management — consisting of cooling and air conditioning — for a commercial vehicle customer in the US. In Europe the world’s first air/exhaust gas recirculation cooler went into series production. Markus Flik, CEO of Behr: “We predict a growth in sales of three to five percent for fiscal year 2007.” (2006: sales 3,188 million euros) About the company: Behr GmbH & Co.
