Formica improves EBIT in Europe and North America
 
The laminates manufacturer Formica, which is part of the Laminates & Panels division of Fletcher Building, improved its EBIT in the first half of the 2013/2014 financial year by 9%. According to figures now released by Fletcher Build-ing, Formica showed a total EBIT of NZ$25m. The individual regions showed differing trends. In Asia, EBIT declined by 14% to NZ$18m, which was explained by the company as partly due to the commissioning of the new HPL plant in Jiuji-ang (China) and to the weakness of the market in Taiwan. In contrast, in North America, EBIT in-creased by 21% to NZ$17m and in Europe the EBIT loss was almost completely eliminated, at minus NZ$1m.
