James Hardie Industries Raises Guidance - Seite 2

“We expect to continue to deliver consistent results as our company evolves,” Dr. Truong said. “We’ve made significant progress on our LEAN manufacturing transformation, which allows us to consistently and efficiently deliver premium-quality products and service to our customers around the world where we operate. As we move forward, we will partner even more closely with our customers. We will continue to demonstrate that James Hardie can provide better service and increased value than any other building materials company. These efforts are underpinned by the homeowners’ strong preference for James Hardie brand products and solutions, which provide endless design possibilities that create beautiful homes that last.”

Dr. Truong concluded, "I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to all James Hardie colleagues around the world. These results would not have been possible without their extraordinary efforts. I would like to specifically recognize our team members in our manufacturing facilities around the world. They were the engine driving our success by reliably and safely performing their responsibilities and empowering us to consistently supply our customers at the highest level during the highly volatile market environment these past six months."
