Thank you for your review. We are happy that you believe in the quality and approach of GEA. However, we are sorry that you did not agree with the restructuring. With any big restructuring, it takes time to adjust before achieving the desired outcome. Once the company is fully adjusted to the restructuring, we believe it will make for a better future at GEA.
