End-of-year report – words from Eng. Sacchi

“The year 2025 closes in a complex market scenario,” says Eng. Sacchi. “Some sectors, such as e-mobility and agriculture, are slowing down due to strong price pressure driven by the use of low-quality materials. However, demand for Blutref products remains steady and consumption stable. In the Italian market, our prices have not changed significantly since 2022, ensuring continuity and balance for our customers.”

Despite the challenging economic environment, the company continues to maintain solid relationships with both national and international clients—including several leading brands—who continue to choose Blutref for its quality, reliability, and commercial transparency.
