Message from President & CEO
The NSG Group is one of the world's largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products for the building, automotive and specialty glass markets.
Our company enjoys an excellent reputation in the industry for quality and service, innovation, technical excellence and a strong product range. We are in a strong position to supply the emerging photovoltaics sector, which we believe is an important growth area.
Our immediate priorities in FY2011 are to realize full gains from the recent restructuring, with a return to profitability the first step to future growth. We are reviewing our Medium-term Plan to take account of the challenges and opportunities presented by the new global economic environment. We will announce details of the updated Plan in November 2010.
Over the long term, growth in demand for glass has consistently exceeded economic growth and I expect that to be the case again. Our products have always been crucial to construction, automotive, office equipment and mobile devices and that is not going to change fundamentally.
Our objective is to be our customers' preferred supplier, the preferred place for our employees to work and of course the preferred investment for our shareholders.
