We were able to win market share in Western and Southern Europe, especially in our core markets Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Spain and Austria.”

Mr Glock explained that this growth is primarily attributable to the good trend for wall-hung boilers, water heaters and floor-standing boilers, stating “We launched an entirely new generation of devices in 2015.
