Solid revenue growth recorded in first quarter of 2021
On an exceptional basis, Sibelco provided commentary on its business for the first quarter of 2021.
Revenues for Sibelco’s continuing activities in the first quarter were 3% higher than in the first quarter of 2020 and 2% higher than in the first quarter of 2019. This confirms the steady recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic that the company outlined in early 2021.
“Sibelco displayed a high degree of resilience to the pandemic during 2020 and it is encouraging to see the company also get off to a positive start in 2021. The management team is focused on driving further improvements in performance and delivering growth through the Sibelco 2025 strategy.”
