Consolidated Sales Revenue of the Group (k€)
The last five years the Group has benefited from a very buoyant coal and steel market, impacting very favorably its logistics and associated activities: coal consumption and seaborne transportation increased by 25 % during that time.
Steel production, driven mainly by China, has also experienced an unprecedented boom over the last seven years, going from 848 Mt in 2000 to 1,343 Mt in 2007. During this same period China quadrupled its production which reached in 2007 a level of 489 Mt.
The economic environment is not the same today and tomorrow is full of uncertainties. The Group is now facing the challenge to maintain its competitive position in a market which is far less attractive and far more difficult. But, thanks to its know-how, adaptability and solid financial position, ATIC Services should be able to weather the storm.
