Barco presents new-style 2016 Annual Report
- Details
2016 was a year of important organizational changes at Barco: the company welcomed a new CEO, new CFO and new Chief HR Officer, and its headquarters moved to an iconic new building in Kortrijk.
In the midst of all these changes, Barco achieved solid growth, both in sales and in EBITDA margin. In his opening letter to the report, CEO Jan De Witte thanks Eric Van Zele, former CEO, for bringing Barco back to growth. He also describes the opportunities that he has spotted to take Barco to the next level. A focus on performance will be key in the future, hence the title of the 2016 report. In the coming years, Barco will keep up its innovation efforts while sharpening its focus on execution, says the report.
The course that De Witte and his team have determined for the coming years is clearly reflected in the 2016 Annual Report. In the past few months, Barco evolved its brand identity to be on par with its evolution as a company. The 2016 Annual Report provides a sneak peek of that new identity.
Further details regarding Barco’s strategy will be disclosed along with other information at the Capital Markets Day on 16 March 2017. In June, Barco will publish an update of its Sustainability Report.
