THE STRONG 7.2% CASH FLOW

The analysis by Alfredo Ballarini of the 2012 financial statements of ceramic machinery companies, a survey that covers a representative sample of 95 companies, reveals a strong surge in cash flow from 2.1% to 7.2%. While the growth in cash flow testifies to effective management in a very difficult year and demonstrates the good health of companies in the sector, at the same time it points to the availability of resources to be allocated to R&D and product innovation. This is good news for the entire ceramic industry.
