Looking to the future, we have our sights set on even more growth, supported since 2014 by the new shareholder Ardian. In the next three to five years, we want Italmatch to have a strong presence in Asia Pacific and North America, and for it to be turning close to 1 billion in sales. With our track record for advancing the company, there is little doubt these objectives will be achieved. Sergio Iorio CEO & Founder Italmatch Chemicals From CEO Magazine, March 2017
