Year-end Report January-December 2015


"Bong has during the last year completely restructured the company and reduced
the number of sites and personnel drastically in order to have a more lean and
effective organization to be competitive in the tough envelope market. The rapid
increase in paper prices from suppliers during the last year has successfully
been passed on to the market to restore our margins. The turnaround is already
seen in the figures and our goal to make profit on bottom line for 2016 is still
valid", says Bong’s CEO Stéphane Hamelin.
