Business Cycles

Glaston’s business is subject to the normal swings in the economic climate. In conditions of growth, companies invest more and machine sales increase. In an economic downturn or recession, the amount of investment falls, but correspondingly demand for services, machine updates and optional accessories grows. Glaston’s comprehensive service offering and predictive maintenance thus partly contribute to balancing out the seasonal and economic fluctuations in machine sales.

Glaston’s geographical market areas – EMEA, Asia and America – also help to balance the cyclical fluctuations arising from changes in economic conditions. Moreover, Glaston has a number of different customer groups, which means that the economic cycles of the construction, automotive and alliance industries tend to partly balance each other out. Renovation construction for its part balances the cyclical swings of the construction industry in terms of Glaston’s business. Glaston’s customer structure is diversified.
