"We are particularly satisfied with the trend shown by the results achieved in 2014, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategic choices that were adopted, choices aimed at achieving Group growth and in particular at expanding our presence in emerging geographic areas which have a higher growth rate and at maintaining a leadership role in Europe and the USA,” said Romano Volta, Chairman and CEO of the Datalogic Group.
Looking forward, he noted that the company’s investments made throughout the year made the positive growth possible, and that was necessary to help the company move forward.
“The considerable increase in Research and Development investments, which must be underlined, is necessary to guarantee the continuous innovation of product and technology,” he said. “Looking at 2015, which we expect to be a year of growth and development, the target continues to be the satisfaction of our customers and partners, with an efficient management of costs".
