Order book

No
- The order book for reclaim rubber is described as weak, with Q4 being a weak quarter and the order book not looking extremely encouraging. - The company is working to increase wallet share with existing customers to maintain market share. - For non-reclaim rubber, especially Engineering Plastics, there is confidence in returning to previous levels but capacity constraints exist. - The Composite business faces capacity challenges due to a fire incident, with current operations at about 70% capacity after renewed contracts. - Both Engineering Plastics and Composite segments have a fairly positive order situation and customer outlook. - The company aims to ramp capacity utilization back to approximately 70-75% by the end of the year. - Overall, order visibility exists for the next few quarters, though international markets show some volume degrowth.
