MEXICO CITY, Oct. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Grupo Rotoplas SAB de CV (BMV: AGUA) ("Rotoplas", "the Company" or "the Group"), the leading provider of individual and integrated water solutions in the Americas, reported unaudited financial results for the third quarter 2016. The information within has been prepared based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

"During the first nine months of the year we had a solid growth of individual solutions supported by our brand strength and the consumer´s recognition of the benefits of our products. This partially mitigate the economic and political challenges that affected the sales of solutions to the government social programs in Mexico and Brazil. On the other hand, this year we successfully closed important projects that strengthen our strategy in the water industry, such as the award of various contracts for installation and maintenance of water fountains, the acquisition of 80% of Sytesa in Mexico and the successful integration to the Rotoplas Way of Talsar in Argentina and AIC in Chile." commented Carlos Rojas Mota Velasco, CEO of Grupo Rotoplas.
