May 24, 2021 Italian machine maker Sacmi has hailed its 2020 financial performance as an âextraordinary responseâ to a year marred by the global pandemic. In a year that included interruptions to international supply chains and the temporary suspension of manufacturing in some sectors, sales across the whole Sacmi business exceeded â¬1.1 billion ($1.34bn), while net equity remained stable at â¬682 million ($833m). The number of employees remained steady at almost 4,600, and Sacmi retained its âtechnological leadershipâ across all markets, the company claimed. Within the division, Sacmi said its ability to stay several steps ahead of both standards and markets resulted in a ânear-repetitionâ of its 2019 results.
