The German trade association DUD, Industrieverband Kunststoff-Dach- und Dichtungsbahnen DUD e. V. reports successful annual results for 2017.
In comparison to the previous year the producers of single ply waterproofing membranes improved sales in Germany by 1.5%. Thus, in 2017, about 20 millions of square meters plastic sheets for roofing were sold.
Joachim Gussner, President of the association, states: “This result is particularly pleasing as by the considerable drop in volumes in the third quarter of last year. One usually speaks of a seasonal peak in autumn, but in 2017 the sales curve changed completely. The reasons for this situation are complex. The past year was characterised by raw material shortage and lack of certain necessary components of insulation material as well as missing installers’ capacities. In spite of these uncertainties, we as producers look ahead into the new year and expect further volume growth”, he added.
