(Reuters) – French tyre maker Michelin on Tuesday posted a 20.5% increase in sales for the first nine months of the year citing sustained end-user demand in most regions and markets, leaving its full-year profit guidance unchanged.
Sales of the group, which makes tyres used in cars, aircraft, bicycles and industrial equipment, rose to 20.73 billion euros ($20.63 billion) from 17.20 billion euros last year.
