In the business segment of Road maintenance - many Road and Highway authorities throughout the world compensates for economical downturns by increasing of public infrastructure investments. This will happen in Sweden (and more?) 2025.
The background is because of that 2024 can best be described as a stable year - but building up a lot of uncertainty.
1. The psychopathic maniac Putin "da P**a" continue his ruthless murders against the people of the democratic republic of Ukraine [kidnapping children and send them to Russia] - and now he shows his real face by allying to North Korea; and another re****ed dictator, meaning Kim Jong-Un. Sending military troupes from north Korea to Ukraine............ I very much stand behind French President Macron; in his strategies for support to Ukraine.
2. After the attack on Israel [3.000 missiles plus land troupes killing ~1.500 Israelis]; on 23 October 2023 (after a more than a decade of relative stability) - Israel had enough - and declared war against terrorism. The target was declared to eliminate Hamas completely. The use of force have been debated as excessive - but it is a fact that Hamas is hiding behind and among civilians with weapon depots! Under hospitals, schools and in refugee camps. It is indeed a humanitarian catastrophe - and we hope now for stabilization of that conflict.
3. Running my own company and business - I am, pro definition, a republican myself. In fact I do not care much if it is the Democrats or Republicans who run's U.S. Both are, normally, good! For U.S. - and the world. However - it is beyond my imagination; how the hell the republican can choose to stand behind the completely crazy buffoon, Donald Trump. I could maybe, possible rent him as a funny clown to say unbelievable jokes at my grand children's 3 years birthday party. But as President?? Come on U.S. The world expects a higher standard from you..........!!
Anyway -
How these uncertainty parameters will effect the world and the market 2025 we need to wait and see. Stabilizing measurements from the public authorities is helpful.
I guess that we - who anyway are in majority in the world - just need to continue our path; of meeting people in general with love and respect - and we shall pray that the evil part of the world shall wake up and understand normal human values of life. Again!
This is my "New year wish" at least.
2024 was a normal year for WRMS. The turnover on the side of partner KellyBros was continuously stable on a high level. The Turnover on the side of partner of Team Segnal was triple from 2023. The establishment of new partner on rumble milling, JaqueVial, was close to half-a-mill € at my markets. On the side of WaterJetting services from partner TrackLine some administrative obstacles delayed the "take-off" 2024. But it shall have been sorted out by now - so I am optimistic for 2025. In front of 2025 WRMS will also launch a new partner on ecological sign posts with increased safety, EcoPoste. It is a very interesting product in WRMS portfolio. Innovative! Safety improving! and Environmentally adapted!
Quality wise my partners held in general a good level 2024 - with a some few challenges; under subject of continuous improvement. These "hick-up's" are already addressed - and 2025 will be an excellent year. For my partners - and for my clients......
With this said - WRMS wishes you the best for Christmas. Take care for yourself, your friends and family. And recover. Because 2025, I look forward to stand, shoulder to shoulder, with all of you in my friendship circle - in order to make 2025 the best year ever!!
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas - and a Happy New Year..........
