Gurit made good progress in strategy implementation. The acquisition of PH Windsolutions, the foundation of a balsa wood joint-venture in Indonesia and the integration of the acquired PET business into the company`s Composite Materials business represent the key achievements in the first half-year 2017.
Sales-wise, Gurit says it met mixed market conditions across its target industries which led to a temporary dip in sales. However, the company was able to further increase its operating profitability by 11% year-on-year.
