CEO’S COMMENTS
“Deliveries to carmakers with European exposure remained good and were above the level of market growth. Deliveries to China and to heavy vehicle manufacturers were at a lower rate. In total therefore, net sales were marginally lower than previous year.
Ahead of us we still see that 2016 will be a year of growth in line with expectations on the European vehicle production. In coming years we see very good prospects to gain further market shares based on received contracts and ongoing discussions with customers. We are therefore making preparations for future growth both through investments and also through continued improvement in the efficiency. During the quarter, for example, we decided to invest in a surface treatment plant in Poland that is expected to generate annual savings of around EUR 2 million on full production.”
