Fiscal Year 2025

Fiscal Year 2024

2024 featured a strategic shift to profitable markets, improved margins, and major restructuring, with wind sales down but marine and industrial segments growing. Outlook for 2025 is cautious due to tariff and geopolitical uncertainties, with a focus on operational efficiency and sustainability.
