“With a broadened product portfolio, we will be able to actively participate in the current plastic-to-carton packaging trend, thereby contributing to a better future.
“In Q3, we continued to develop and improve our business across geographies, and we delivered a very strong financial result. We expect to achieve full-year revenue of above €1.1bn, well above our mid-term organic growth target of 2-3%. Based on our estimated full-year revenue, we expect to deliver full-year adjusted EBITDA above €170m.”
