May 2 (Reuters) - Swiss plumbing supplies maker Geberit on Tuesday reported a 8.9% drop in first-quarter
revenue, citing challenging comparable results the previous year
and a slowdown in the renovation business.
The group, which makes piping and ceramic products for
bathrooms, reported sales of 892.7 million Swiss francs ($996.65
million) for the first quarter, compared to 980 million francs
the previous year.
