Based on the disclosure obligation (Ad hoc publicity) in line with Art. 53 of the Listing Rules of SIX Exchange Regulation, DOTTIKON ES informs that instead of a further increase in net sales and net income for the business year 2015/16, it now expects a strong increase in net sales and net income as well as a significant increase in profitability.

DOTTIKON ES manufactures high­quality performance chemicals, intermediates and exclusive active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for the world's leading chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The company with its production site in Dottikon (Aargau, Switzerland) is specialized in hazardous reactions and is positioning itself as strategic development and manufacturing partner. Its safety culture created over the last 100 years guides innovative use of hazardous reactions, low­temperature and high­pressure chemistry, as well as continuous processing. This shortens conventional chemical synthesis routes, increases yields, selectivities and purities, and reduces waste. The versatile technology and equipment portfolio is used to design, develop and optimize chemical processes, and scale up from kilograms to multi­tons.

DOTTIKON ES' one­site strategy allows reduced decision and communication pathways. This ensures rapid and efficient project development as well as clear and transparent communication with customers.
