”Plastic Omnium’s team have accomplished outstanding work to enhance the flexibility of our industrial facilities and adapt our operations to volatile automotive production, which will slowly recover over the years to come. The program to cut costs and increase cash generation is starting to produce results. Together with its Omega transformation plan to improve operational efficiency, the Group can plan on rapidly returning to its profitability benchmarks.
Plastic Omnium has created an opportunity out of this unprecedented crisis to strengthen its fundamentals.
The Group is unquestionably a leader in clean and connected mobility. Through its high involvement in 100% electric programs, Plastic Omnium has increased its content per vehicle and broadened its customer portfolio. At the same time, the Group is accelerating its strategy to develop clean mobility. At a special conference scheduled for November 25, we will present our global approach for the entire value chain of hydrogen solutions, from storage to fuel cell systems.“
