Mannheim (dpa) - The lubricant manufacturer Fuchs Petrolub remains cautious for the current year due to the corona pandemic.
Fuchs Petrolub is assuming a recovery in the global economy in all regions, the company, which is listed in the MDax, announced on Tuesday in Mannheim.
However, the pre-crisis level is unlikely to be reached in all of the company's industries and customer groups.
In addition, interruptions in supply chains resulting from the corona pandemic continued to weigh on business.
The company expects earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to maintain the previous year's figure of 313 million euros.
For sales, Fuchs Petrolub is aiming for growth to the pre-crisis level in 2019 of almost 2.6 billion euros.
In 2020, sales shrank by eight percent to 2.4 billion.
Fuchs Petrolub had already presented key data in January.
The bottom line in 2020 was a profit of 221 million euros.
That was three percent less than a year earlier.
Nevertheless, Fuchs Petrolub wants to increase the dividends by two percent each.
