Syngroup was contacted to perform a quick strategy check in the changed business conditions.

Doubts emerged about the robustness of the offer to the market – both in terms of prices and in terms of range, on the technological trajectory, on the intentions for growth through acquisitions and, last but not least, on the consistency of the capex already approved and in the implementation phase.
