We are starting to show shareholders the effects of the operational efficiency measures implemented in the recent period and of the massive investments made in recent years. The uncertainty of these days validates our regional expansion strategy and we will continue to focus our efforts on growing the business and capitalizing on opportunities. As we have shown in the past, we have courage and rely on our accumulated experience, financial discipline and a carefully calibrated development plan," said Bogdan Craciunas, CFO of the TeraPlast Group, quoted in the press release.According to him, quantitative sales increased by 25%, from over 23,000 tonnes in the first quarter of 2024, to almost 30,000 tonnes in the first quarter of this year.At the same time, sales outside Romania represented 38% of the consolidated turnover, up from 17% in the first quarter of 2024.
