Christmas greetings 2019

Dear business partners,

The year 2019 was characterised by different market situations. While the industry was still operating at full capacity in the first half of the year and was driven by the hustle and bustle of the futures market, it became much quieter after the summer holidays. Reports of economic weakness and short-time working became more frequent. Nevertheless, we are heading into 2020 with a positive outlook. Initial signs point to the situation improving again.

In addition, numerous investments will take effect in the coming year. We will continue to support you as your partner for bright steel and offer you top products.

As in previous years, we will not be sending Christmas presents this year. Instead, we are giving gifts to charitable organizations whose work we appreciate very much and whose commitment has a great impact:

• the Kinderhospizdienst Sternentreppe im Caritas e.V., Hagen
• the BSH Betrieb für Sozialeinrichtungen Hagen gem. GmbH Jugendhilfe Selbecke

We hope this is also in your interest.

The bright steel team at Andernach & Bleck wishes you and your family a happy holiday and all the best for 2020.
