EDITORIAL
Dear readers,
We are passionate about helping our customers world wide with our full range of products and services throughout the entire life cycle of their systems. This is the basis of our success, and it has made us the global market leader for reciprocating compression solutions. We can look back on a successful fiscal year 2021. The current year also gives us reason to be confident, and we are well on track to reach our medium-term target for 2022.
However, our achievements do not mean we can sit back and relax. The markets are changing continuously and ever more rapidly. We aim to maintain and further expand our strong market position by shaping the energy transition with our customers. Sustainable energy and natural gas applications already account for about half of our Group-wide sales, and we will continue to increase this share in a targeted manner in the years ahead.
