PRESS RELEASE OF 11 JULY 2017

PERROT DUVAL GROUP SEES PROFITS JUMP BY 50 PER CENT Automation specialist the Perrot Duval Group (Perrot Duval Holding S.A.) generated a profit after taxes of 1.5 million CHF for the 2016/17 financial year (ended on 30 April 2017), up by 50 per cent on the previous year (1.0 million CHF).
