Passion & customer-centricity \u2013 A decisive factor to success\n<\/h1>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As 2018 is coming to an end, I have used the festive season to reflect on what we at AS-Schneider have achieved over the course of the year. Very often we forget to celebrate our success and tend to focus on the challenges (and there are plenty). From the sales point of view, I\u2019m extremely happy to celebrate one of the best years in our 143-year-long history.<\/p>

The year has not been easy, the markets were volatile, the majority of our products are more and more commoditized. By the end of the second quarter the oil and gas industry appeared to have weathered the storm of the 2015 price collapse, but towards the end of the year the oil prices have been tumbling again. Despite all the difficulties, we are going to close the year today with a record global order intake.<\/p>

I believe\u00a0passion<\/strong>\u00a0in combination with our\u00a0customer-centric mindset<\/strong>\u00a0was a decisive factor to this success.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
