Turkey top envoy goes to Niger in bid to secure uranium supplies
The trip comes after Niger’s military government withdrew mining rights from Canadian and French companies to develop uranium deposits.
CNH Global N.V. (NYSE: CNH) today announced financial results for the year ended December 31, 2011. For the year, net sales increased 25% (22% on a constant currency basis) to $18.1 billion as agricultural equipment markets continue to perform well across the Group’s geographical portfolio, and as a result of the continued recovery in the construction equipment market segment. Equipment Operations posted an Operating Profit of $1.5 billion on the strength of higher demand, with resulting increases in plant utilization, a favorable mix and improved net pricing for agricultural equipment, partially offset by fourth quarter European engine stock-piling costs.
