This growth was posted in a challenging economic environment shaped by high inflationary pressures and a general rise in interest rates, the supplier said.
“Nevertheless, Antolin was able to deliver positive performance due to the robustness and diversification of its business and its ability to adapt efficiently to the market situation. Global vehicle production grew by 9% over the first nine months of the year.”
The transformation plan targets an increased presence in markets with high growth potential, such as China, and offering more value added products by using lighting, electronics, and HMI capability.
This year Antolin has won new projects worth EUR5,300m.
