• €132.9 million in Net bank debt in March 2023, above €101.3 million in December 2022.
• José Domingo de Ampuero y Osma, Chairman of the Viscofan Group: "The strength of our business model, the rise in price/mix, and the cost control have offset the sharp cost inflation. Thus, first quarter results are in line with the expectations for the year 2023.
In 2023, a year with lower investment needs, the learning curve of the projects carried out last year is progressing satisfactorily. The production equipment with new cellulose (Danville) and collagen (New Jersey) technology installed in the United States is a significant leap in efficiencies and product quality in our operations in the country. In parallel, the capacity increases both in the Traditional Business and in the New Businesses are placing us in an ideal position to capture the growth opportunities foreseen in the Beyond25 strategic plan."
