Jarosław Michniuk, President of the Management Board of Boryszew S.A., said that “The very good results produced in the first half of 2017 enabled us to deliver the forecast at the assumed level. Despite the strengthening of the zloty, exerting pressure on our results, we can stand by our forecast for this year. We are encouraged to do so by promising perspectives for the automotive segment, expected better results of the chemicals segment, resulting from its seasonality, and a stable situation in the metals segment.”

In the first half of 2017, the Boryszew Group produced revenue from sales of PLN 3,172 million, in comparison with PLN 2,882 million earned in the corresponding period of the previous year. Jarosław Michniuk, President of the Management Board of Boryszew S.A., explained that “An increase in revenue by 10%, in comparison with the first half of 2016, can be attributed to higher sales in the Metals Segment and the rise in metal prices on international markets. It results also from the development of our business in the Automotive Segment, where, despite the strengthening of the zloty and lower sales of tools, we recorded an increase of 5%, mainly owing to the development of Maflow business in Poland, China, Mexico, and Brazil, and an increase in sales of parts in BAP.”
