ONCE AGAIN, THE KWH GROUP HAS ENJOYED A SUCCESSFUL YEAR
The past year has been surprisingly good, with a de facto net profit reaching a new record.
Given the geopolitical and trade policy situations, this is more than acceptable.

Vision
KWH’s mission is to develop knowledge-intensive, highly focused and service-oriented niche operations. These niche operations must take into account the real conditions in the sector concerned and should be built up around unique products, processes or market positions that confer long-term competitive advantages. The operations in question are mainly business-to-business and internationally competitive.
The operations are based on traditional KWH sectors where we have a solid familiarity with the field, a solid strategic position and a strong sectoral presence. In so doing, KWH will be working within its framework as a diversified international industrial group whose core business is the manufacture of coated abrasives and plastic products and the provision of logistics services.
