On a battered stock market, a Greek furniture maker shines

ATHENS (Reuters) - While most of the Greek stock market was dropping, shares of the furniture maker Dromeas SA soared almost 29 percent on Monday after clinching a 30 million-euro (£21 million) deal to supply European Commission offices. It would have taken a lot of shares to make much profit, though. Dromeas closed at 0.147 euros, a 28.9 percent increase from its previous close of 0.114 euros. The company announced on July 29 - during the five weeks the stock market was closed - that it had won an international tender to supply all EU offices over a five-year period. It had won a similar tender in 2009. Greek stocks <.ATG> unofficially closed with losses of 16.2 percent on Monday, the first day of trade after the five -week shutdown.
