Looking at Gurit`s Composite Materials Business, demand in the Wind Energy business increased by 11.8% pulled by the markedly recovered Asian market.
The ongoing technology change in wind blade production and the related lower demand for glass prepreg products could be fully compensated by stronger core material sales to Wind Energy customers and strong sales of carbon prepreg products to the American market. In total, net sales in the wind energy business increased year-on-year from CHF 117,4 million in 2013 to CHF 131,2 million in 2014.
