Sidel

Comments by the President & CEO, Sidel Mart Tiismann

A steady course in a volatile market

After an extraordinarily difficult 2009, we entered 2010 cautiously optimistic that business conditions would normalise and quietly confident that our ambitious transformation of Sidel would begin yielding visible results on the bottom line. We can now conclude that the year turned out to be better than anyone expected both in terms of volumes and profitability as Sidel outgrew the general market recovery.

This confirms that the long-term strategy we set out in 2008 is more valid than ever. Despite operating in a highly volatile market, we have been able to hold a steady course and we will continue to execute this strategy towards our ultimate goal of gaining undisputed leadership in PET beverage packaging solutions.
