Third-quarter sales declined in all geographies except France, which was boosted by the acquisition of Agence Internationale Commerciale et Industrielle, S.A.S. in April 2009.
Simpson Strong-Ties sales decreased 22% during the quarter, primarily a result of decreased sales to contractor distributors and dealer distributors from continued weakness in home-building activity. Simpson Dura-Vents sales decreased 37.5%.
