Gerald Engström, President and CEO, comments:
"We are satisfied with our first quarter. Growth returned, and profitability
improved significantly. Volumes grew about 6 percent, though it was not apparent
in sales figures because of the appreciation of the Swedish krona. The
operating margin improved, thanks to larger volumes and efficiency enhancements
put in place.
"We are also satisfied to have completed three acquisitions during the first
quarter - in the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Greece - that will support
our ongoing growth in Europe. We are well equipped for further growth through
the investments made in production plant, product development and marketing."
