Ireland: Kingspan’s revenue grew by 19% year-on-year to Euro4.37bn in 2018 from Euro3.67bn in 2017. Its earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increased by 18% to Euro521m from Euro442m. Insulated panels sales rose by 21% to Euro 2.82bn due to good sales in the Americas and Europe. Insulation boards sales grew by 12% to Euro 864m due to the group’s acquisition of Synthesia Insulation in Spain, on-going growth of its Kooltherm product and general market buoyancy.
“2018 was a year of strong growth for Kingspan, with the company delivering revenues of over Euro4bn for the first time. Performance has been robust in most of our major markets, and momentum has improved through the year,” said Gene M Murtagh, chief executive of Kingspan.
