Management Report of the Board of Directors - Financial Year 2008<br />

benchmarks standards OHSAS 18001:2007, NP EN ISO<br />

9001:2000, NP EN ISO 14001:2004.<br />

SOMAFEL - Engenharia e Obras Ferroviárias, S.A. is 60%<br />

owned by Teixeira Duarte Group and its core business is<br />

railway engineering (tracks and catenaries).<br />

In 2008, and on an individual basis, the company reported an<br />

operating profit of EUR 45,242 thousand, which corresponds<br />

to an overall increase of 70.7% compared to the previous<br />

year.<br />

However, this was yet another year in which national<br />

production dropped as a result of a reduction in railway<br />

construction, renewal and maintenance activities, although<br />

the external market – which we will develop further ahead<br />

(IV.1.3.) – grew exponentially with very significant production<br />

rates, namely in Algeria and Morocco.<br />
