In 2017, Carbures has expired 18 years as company. We have reached the adult age. This has been one of our best years. A year of consolidation as a Company, of stability, of organic growth, of launch of new projects and of technological innovation.

Throughout this year we have traced the path we are going to take in 2018. The jump to the Continuous Market responds to our new business reality of the Company. Our industrial capacity is much greater than we had when we went to MAB five years ago, our internal structure is very reinforced and we enjoy a solid global positioning as a manufacturer of pieces and structures in composite materials for the Aerospace, Automotive and Civil Works. Therefore, the growth that we have achieved in the last two years, place us in a clear position to jump to the Continuous Market as a natural step to continue growing as a Company. The second challenge we are already working on is to reinforce our position as a leading Company in Industry 4.0, through collaborative robots, intelligent linear systems and the sensorization of composite structures of compound materials.

Thank you all for the confidence.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all![...]
