How do you judge the global pool market in 2016?

Juri Katz: "In 2016 we saw a growth in sales in Europe and South America, nevertheless the weakness of EUR vs USD has slightly affected our results.
In general, our product strategy is working well, and it is being implemented successfully by our Branches as well as by our Distributors."
   
Which perspectives for 2017?

JK: "We see a positive trend in Europe: we are increasing volumes in France as well as in countries that were facing a deep depression for the last years, like Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece.
Furthermore the US, South America (excluding Brazil) and Australia are growing markets.
Asia is a bit more complicated market, that needs special attention but has a great potential growth."
