What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
N.S.N: The European plastics market remains challenging. Manufacturers are facing pressure from raw material and energy costs, transport costs and strong international competition. At the same time, customers continue to expect high quality, competitive prices, reliable deliveries and increasingly sustainable solutions. For European manufacturers, maintaining competitiveness requires investment in efficient technologies, production capabilities and quality.
What can you tell us about market trends?
N.S.N: We see growing importance of product durability, functionality, efficient use of raw materials and recycling. Customers are increasingly interested in products that combine practical design with long service life and responsible use of materials. Another important trend is the development of automation and modern production technologies. For manufacturers, flexibility is also becoming increasingly important, as customers expect shorter lead times and the ability to adapt products and production to changing market requirements.
What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
N.S.N: We are particularly proud of the quality and reliability of our products. Innovation at ArtGos is not limited to a single product; it is also reflected in our ability to develop complete solutions for customers. Our own design office, tooling facilities and injection moulding plant allow us to manage the entire process from concept and mould development to testing and series production. This integrated approach gives us greater control over quality and enables us to respond efficiently to individual customer requirements.
What estimations do you have for the second half of 2026?
N.S.N: We expect the second half of 2026 to be a period of further development for ArtGos. We are seeing growing orders, which gives us a positive basis for increasing production. At the same time, we plan further investments in new machinery and the modernisation of the plant and production infrastructure. Our goal is to strengthen our production capabilities, improve efficiency and continue developing our product portfolio and services. We remain focused primarily on the European market and on building long-term relationships with our customers.
