拜耳在华销售首超10亿欧元

    Bayer AG， Europe's second-biggest chemical maker， said first-half sales in China increased 22 percent and its workforce jumped by almost a third this year on rising demand for chemicals and plastics.

　　Bayer MaterialScience AG contributed the bulk of the gains， its sales rising 18 percent from a year earlier to 524 million euros ($673 million) and expected to exceed 1 billion euros for the first time in 2006， Chief Executive Officer Werner Wenning said at the Caojing Chemical Park near Shanghai today.

　　欧洲第二大化工企业拜耳公司称，公司上半年在中国的销售增长了22%。由于中国对化工产品和塑料的需求不断增加，公司在华员工人数增长近1/3。

　　公司首席CEO沃纳·温宁在上海称，拜耳材料科学公司对增长的贡献最大。公司销售增长了18%，达5.24亿欧元(6.73亿美元)，预计公司今年在华销售将首次超过10亿欧元。
