Uboldo (Va), 7 September 2022– LU-VE S.p.A.'s Board of Directors, which met today, reviewed and approved the consolidated financial report as at 30 June 2022.
“In the first six months of 2022, the Group grew in terms of sales, EBITDA and net income. In addition, we have an order backlog never before recorded in the company's history. This is the result of the teamwork of all of us-us," said Iginio Liberali, president of LU-VE Group. "However, due to the international situation, this first half of the year has also been marked by the sharp increase in the cost of living and inflation, which has had a strong impact on household budgets. This is why we have allocated three million euros to support our employees. In the face of uncertainties in the global economic scenario and a market that shows waning demand, LU-VE Group's overall structure, ongoing operations, and above all, our commitment to our work make us look to the future with confidence."
