Genan: “Back on track” in 2023 following “annus horribilis”

Danish firm Genan, the world’s largest mechanical tyre recycling group, achieved a turnover of €58.7 million in 2023. This represents a seven per cent decrease compared to the previous year. However, despite the lower turnover, the company increased its EBITDA by over 50 per cent to almost €9.4 million, while operating profit (EBIT) multiplied from just over €750,000 to €3.2 million. Net profit, influenced negatively by exchange rate fluctuations, increased from €1.5 to €2 million.
