Bekaert achieved more than 10% sales growth in 2017, exceeding the € 4 billion consolidated sales mark for the first time in history. Despite of the economic headwinds in Latin America, the various adverse portfolio effects and the unusual volatility in raw materials prices and currencies, we were able to reach broadly the same profit level as in 2016.
Our solid organic volume growth (+3.4%) stemmed from firm demand in global automotive markets and increased sales volumes in industrial steel wire and construction markets.
