Preface

It’s always a nice thing, reviewing the past, while it’s snowing. Outside it’s quiet and peacefully white, even the clock seems be ticking slower. At once people don’t bother that they have to driver much slower, they are just happy, that they still can drive on the slippery roads. You know the gist of the cause, that’s what it‘s all about.

2017 has been quite a turbulent year with many changes within our company, but with much innovation too. There has been quite some employee turnover, as well as some big changes. We were very happy to introduce a lot of new products this year. We believe we’ve done it quite well, there was a small growth and we’re ready to start next year!

2018 announces itself in great state… with high expectations, locally, in Europe and in the rest of the world. Declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel was quite a challenge for Trump. Should this be the start of the ending of world’s oldest conflict (as the Israeli like to call it) then we’ll have to adjust our expectations… we’ll see.

The conjuncture seems good, stock exchange keeps increasing (without a reason?), the unemployment decreases (together with more automation?) and investments increase (disposal of profit figures from the multinationals?). 2018 here we come! A year without challenges, won’t be a good one!

And what about our oldtimers ? It’s funny that it is in everybody’s lips, whereas 30 years ago we were considered to be an outcast. My passion remains, for cars as well as for the job and the brand. I’m ready for the next 30 years, let’s start with the new year!

I wish everybody a nice, pleasant and splashing 2018 with a lot of work, an exploding passion, much joy in your work in an excellent health, with much love and tenderness.

Bob
