Preliminary Financial Highlights:
Dourdin reports strong sale growth and industrial investment in 2024 ahead of official annual results.

As we prepare to release our official annual financial results at the end of June, we are pleased to share some key preliminary highlights from what has been a pivotal year for the Dourdin Group. These early insights reflect both the scale of our operations and our long-term commitment to innovation and industrial excellence.

Preliminary Highlights

  • Strong Sales Growth with a consolidated turnover of €80 million up from €67 million in 2023:
    This marks a healthy +19% year-on-year increase, a clear signal of strong performance across the group. Increases in sales are driven by the launch of new programs in technologies such as castforming
    and painting.
  • Annual industrial Investments of 8m€: in 2024, the group continued its investment plan to reinforce its production infrastructure. These investments focused primarily on enhancing our capabilities in painting, cast-forming, and film production—three key technologies that will continue to shape the future of decorative solutions across industries.

Looking back on a year marked by strong growth and strategic investment, Erik Dourdin, Group CEO, comments:

Our performance this year underscores our commitment to growth and innovation. We now operate at a level of activity equivalent to that before 2020. The group teams experienced a challenging year implementing new technologies and programs in Romania, Turkey, and France. This resulted in significant extra costs for the group, but customers’ interests were preserved to the best of our abilities. While our net results are negative, the strong sales growth and strategic investments demonstrate our continued focus on delivering long-term value to our customers and stakeholders.
Erik Dourdin,
Group CEO of Dourdin Decorative Solutions

In Europe (France, Portugal, Romania): Dourdin Group has developed productions in a variety of technologies, representing a diversified portfolio of solutions offered to customers

  • France, the subsidiary is now able to produce high volumes of decorative films as well as parts from plastic injection and film coverings.
  • Romania, the subsidiary has set up largescale industrial capabilities with an enhanced level of industrial supervision.
  • Portugal, the subsidiary remains a strong leader in the production of all chrome-related products, including Green-chrome productions.
  • Turkey, in line with its three-year strategic plan, Dourdin started planning for the closure of its chroming business due to a lack of demand for this technology in the region. During the year, Dourdin also explored the possibility of selling and leasing back its plant in Bilecik for financing reasons. As a result, the combination of these two events fueled the perception that Dourdin was possibly closing its entire business in the country. However, it should be noted that Dourdin is not planning to exit the Turkish market. The chroming line will be terminated during the summer of 2025, and Dourdin will continue to operate its very modern painting line with a strong and professional team. Dourdin is now planning for the implementation of new relevant industrial activities over the next 48 months.

Looking ahead

Our growth trajectory remains positive. The group anticipates a further 12% increase in consolidated turnover for 2025, which would bring us to around €90 million. This forecast is built on solid foundations: new customer programs and a highly engaged workforce across all our sites.

To all our customers, partners, and employees,
thank you for your ongoing support.
