Prolemn producer of Reghin, controlled by Kastamonu Entegre firm, a major player in Turkey’s wood processing field, ended the first half with 17.4m-euro turnover and a total volume of over 7.12 million sold doorskins.
By comparison, during the same period of 2009, Prolemn reached
17.6m-euro turnover and sold 6.15 million doorskins.
“In the first half, we registered a relatively constant turnover
trend against last year. At the same time, in the first half we
sold around 16% more Doorpan doorskins against the similar period
of last year,” Mustafa Rafi, head of Prolemn’s financial
department, told ZF Transilvania.
Prolemn says the company’s first half turnover was also influenced
by the fact that starting last July it gave up manufacturing
massive products, particularly plywood, which held a significant
weight in January-June 2009 sales. For 2010, Prolemn management has
budgeted a 20% sales increase against 2009, considering it ended
2009 with turnover of around 35m RON (158m euros).
“(…) We also sought various ways of cutting costs, so that we’ve
managed to manufacture at lower prices and achieve higher sales,”
Rafi said.
