Report on 2021

The Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group ended 2021 with record sales and net profit figures. After 2020, which was characterized by the integration of a major acquisition, as well as the impact of the corona pandemic, economic conditions at the beginning of 2021 were more favorable than expected. The economy recovered, resulting in an increase in market demand. Major material shortages and a disrupted supply chain resulted in unprecedented price increases worldwide.

With its strong international stock position and sourcing knowledge, Van Leeuwen managed to effectively respond to developments. With a great deal of effort, resourcefulness and the use of its international network, Van Leeuwen was able to provide its customers with the materials they needed. The company benefited from the extra strength it gained through the acquisition of Benteler Distribution at the end of 2019.

The total revenues of the Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group amounted to € 1,431 million in 2021 (2020: € 1,178 million). The operating result amounted to € 79 million (2020: € 15 million) and the net result was € 64 million (2020: € 9.4 million). Solvency has improved significantly to 40.7% (2020: 36.8%).
