Jan 15 - Swiss plumbing materials maker Geberit GEBN.S reported a 4.4% rise in fourth-quarter sales on Thursday, helped by volume growth in most of its regions.
Geberit - whose results are an indicator of the health of the broader construction industry - said its sales in local currencies came in at 715 million Swiss francs ($892.86 million), slightly ahead of analysts' estimate of 713 million francs in a poll by Visible Alpha.
