“The year 2015 was a record year – all of our financial aggregates posted double-digit growth to reach historic highs,” said Plastic Omnium chairman and CEO, Laurent Burelle.

“Revenue, operating margin and net income all nearly doubled in 5 years. The financial position of the Group improved even more.

“This performance is evidence of our ability to seize growth opportunities, while improving the profitability of our operations. The year was also marked by strong commercial activity, as evidenced by the unprecedented number of orders, reinforcing our leading position in our businesses, validating our technologies, and thus giving us a clear view of future growth.

“In addition, the large-scale project of external growth, with the acquisition of Faurecia’s exterior systems business, will broaden Plastic Omnium’s business.”
