Joep van Beurden , Kendrion CEO : " With the strong progress we have made in the past years , we are benefiting from secular growth opportunities in our four selected markets . Our customers need motion technology that is safe , precise and reliable , and they need it in markets where the demand for high - performance components is growing . Our strong pipeline is expanding in Robotics & Automation , which is at an inflection point fueled by digitalization and Al integration , a shortage of workers for manual - intensive tasks and global supply chain reshoring . Growth in Healthcare & MedTech is driven by the aging population and rise of personalized medicine and diagnostics , while Energy & Transmission Infrastructure serves the growing need for grid modernization , electrification , and wind infrastructure . Increasing regulation around cybersecurity and machine safety further boost the opportunities in Industrial Safety . With our deep expertise in valves , actuators , brakes , and control technology , we are uniquely positioned to benefit from these market tailwinds . I am convinced that we can further strengthen our market position based on our advanced intellectual property , deep application know - how , high - quality products , long- cycle co - development with customers , and demanding regulatory certifications . Our strong financial discipline will enable us to generate operating leverage , leading to increased profit margins and higher cashflow and shareholder returns . " Page 1 of 2
