Revenues originated by Chinese operations now account for roughly 15% of total sales.We already had a chance to mention the company ( see our article on Mc Donald's), and we still see great room for development for the group, which has infact boosted its full year earnings guidance ; we believe Italian companies such as Autogrill would have the potential to penetrate the Chinese market (Chinese people love pizza and ice-cream!). http://finanze.net/news-Chinese_market_offers_growth_potential_to_food_chains-339.html Thu, 6 Oct 2005 00:00:00 GMT
