Industrial gasses and engineering co. Linde's profit falls

In terms of an outlook for the engineering division, the company said, based on the global demand for international plant construction, business remains good. Linde expects an increase in sales in the engineering division in the coming years of 8 percent to 10 percent per year on the basis of a high order backlog and anticipated processing orders.

Linde shares were down nearly 5 percent to $142.30 in Frankfurt trading.
