SAFC orders boosted by H1N1

Sales at Sigma-Aldrich's fine chemicals business, SAFC, declined 14% in Q2 2009. The company said sales improved in Q2 against Q1, but were weak compared to 2008. The SAFC saw increased booked orders for future delivery, rising 19% in Q2 to an all-time high, some of which are for H1N1 related products. The company expects SAFC to make a modest overall contribution to its low single-digit organic growth expectations for 2009.
