Dear stakeholders and Friends of AppliTek,
A globally turbulent year 2008 has almost come to an end. The past weeks, the World has changed like we've never experienced before...
I'm happy to inform you that AppliTek had already pro-actively changed its strategy and business model long before the crisis struck the world economy. This strategy allows us today to further invest in product innovation, market channel access ánd people. The partial forecast for the next fiscal year based on our order pipeline is already satisfying, and will allow us to further grow through innovation and internationalisation.
I would like to thank hereby all our stakeholders, specially our people, our sales partners, our vendors and our customers for their motivation, dedication, and belief in AppliTek.
I wish you all a 2009 full of joy, happiness and friendship.
Optimism now is of great importance in these percepted gloomy times.
If we all think and behave in a positive way and be optimistic as an economic duty, we have the symbiotic force to change the World and its economy back in an upward direction.
Up and be going!
AppliTek NV/SA/INC
