SAFC sees flat year in 2008

Sigma-Aldrich saw sales of its SAFC fine chemicals business grow 5.25% to $623.5m in 2008. The company said that 2% of the growth was due to currency effects, 0.7% to acquisitions and 2.5% due to organic growth. The company saw a decline in 2008 in services for small molecule projects with large pharma companies, however SAFC believes it is well positioned to take advantage of the move from small molecule to large molecule drugs.
