Alloy wheels manufacturer UNIWHEELS continues to grow
New sales record achieved in 2014
Last year, UNIWHEELS AG was able to increase further the sales of alloy wheels. According to preliminary figures, the sales performance increased by 5.2 percent to over 7.2 million wheels in 2014 compared to the previous year.
The sales of wheels increased both in the automotive industry by achieving new records in the supply of high-quality alloy wheels to European automotive manufacturers, as well as in the accessory market with the worldwide delivery of wheels of the well-known own brands ATS, Rial, Alutec and Anzio.
UNIWHEELS CEO Ralf Schmid: “We are proud that in 2014 our Group achieved once again an excellent sales performance. Our previously good sales position in the challenging market of light-alloy wheels has improved again. Similarly, the already very broad customer base in the automotive industry has expanded further with several new customers.”
Based on the increased sales figures – which were forecasted in the half year report 2014 – UNIWHEELS AG anticipates another good annual result for the previous fiscal year. It is also expected to see further sales growth in the fiscal year 2015 thanks to continued strong customer demand.
