The Group's turnover in the period under review increased by 19% compared to the corresponding period of 2015, mainly due to the increase in the sales of pipes.

Objectives and Prospects

The Company is constantly striving to improve financial results by increasing sales deriving from new agreements and new contracts and decreasing costs through restructuring.
