Italian industrial gas company, SOL S.p.A, has reported a growth in sales volumes across the board in its latest financial quarter results, despite the current “volatile and uncertain economic framework.”
In the first quarter of 2016, SOL recorded an overall increase of 4.4% in sales, with volumes reaching a consolidated net profit of €170.6m ($194.5m) compared to €163.4m ($186.3m) in the same quarter in 2015.
The corporation attributes this positive result to an increase of 6.4% in sales conducted abroad, which totalled €88.8m ($101.2m) this quarter, whilst national sales across Italy were also up, growing by 2.2% to reach €81.8m ($93.2m).
