Value management
The most important performance indicators at the Dürr Group are incoming orders, sales, EBIT and ROCE. Cash flow from operating activities and free cash flow also play a key part, especially at Group level. Economic Value Added (EVA) reflects the economic value that is generated in a financial year.
