Brenntag's Outlook for 2014
Brenntag regards itself as extremely well positioned
According to a forecast by the International Monetary Fund,
the global economy is likely to grow more strongly in 2014
than in 2013.
Based on the significant groundwork Brenntag has performed,
the company expects to benefit from
this forecasted improvement in 2014.
"We have worked diligently to position the group positively
to capture accelerated organic growth
as global economies emerge from weak underlying demand.
Therefore we are optimistic about the future growth
and development for the company
in both 2014 and the years ahead",
said CEO Steven Holland.
