The Company’s Statement
In a statement, the company declared that the exit from the automotive glass manufacturing (OEM) segment is for the sustainability of the company and that it will continue operations in Argentina, maintaining assets in the country in anticipation of a market recovery.
The company’s statement also says that: “The company remains active in the country, serving the replacement market. Additionally, some of the volumes produced for the OEM market in Argentina have been transferred to Brazil temporarily.
Sekurit guarantees the continuity of operations in Argentina, maintaining the activities of the unit located in Tortuguitas, as well as its commitment to the local market.”
