As a matter of fact, the final months of the year, which are traditionally the best for the electro-IT sector, dragged down the 2021 figures.
This is a first proof, from the part of large companies, that the last months of 2021 where challenging ones for the business sector and the economy.
Arcelik officials say the fourth quarter was challenging for the entire Europe.
The representatives of Arcelik, the Turkish company that has owned Arctic in Romania for around 20 years, say the company retained its leading position in Romania in 2021.
