    Sibelco delivers another strong performance with a fourth consecutive year of solid growth. Today we have announced strong financial results for 2024, despite depressed conditions across many of the company’s European markets, coupled with significant challenges for its US high purity quartz business resulting from a strong downturn in the photovoltaic energy market that started in mid-2024 and the impact of Hurricane Helene in Q4. Our CEO Hilmar Rode comments: “Sibelco delivered a very strong performance in 2024 with a fourth consecutive year of solid revenue and EBITDA growth despite the challenging business environment. This result demonstrates Sibelco’s growing strength and agility as we move into the final stage of our Sibelco 2025 strategy and prepare for the next exciting phase of our vision to become the world’s leading industrial minerals company.” ⏭️ Next week we will release our 2024 Annual Report which gives a comprehensive overview of our economic, environmental, social and governance performance. 👉 Full press release here: https://lnkd.in/dHekV8nQ #Results #Finance #WeAreSibelco
