GCC generated solid performance in 2007 as a result of good
strategic, operational and financial fundamentals
At a time of economic uncertainty and changes in
the industry, we were able to achieve doubledigit increases in sales, operating income and EBITDA
as a result of the pillars of our strategy: product and market diversification, investment in
profitable growth, focus on service excellence and continued efforts to achieve higher levels of
U.S. sales operating efficiency.
Looking ahead, we believe that our investments in
growth will create even greater value for our stakeholders, a commitment we have honored for over
60 years.
