Antolin has announced a substantial 10% increase in revenues, reaching EUR 3,533 million in the first nine months of 2023, compared to the same period last year. The positive performance was attributed to growth in all regions, with a notable focus on Asia, particularly India and China.
Robust Performance Across Regions
Antolin’s robust financial results were driven by positive performances in all of its operating regions.
