Record sales for SAFC

Sales for Sigma-Aldrich's SAFC division grew by 16% to $180m in Q1 2011 compared to 2010. Kirk Richter, Sigma-Aldrich's Interim Chief Financial Officer, Vice President and Treasurer, said this growth at SAFC was partially due to continued strong demand by biopharma customers as sales of biological drugs continue to expand and also to strong demand for materials and precursors for semi-conductor and LED applications. Rakesh Sachdev, Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, said SAFC has a record level of booked orders for future delivery.
