CEO comments
President and CEO Alf Göransson reported on Securitas administration
during the year 2006 and commented further work within Securitas. The
script and the presentation are to be found in complete versions at
www.securitas.com The quotas below are from the script and refer to
the operations:"My impression is that our US organization is strong and well
organized, and that the acquisitions carried out from 1999 to 2001
that have made Securitas the market leader, are now truly together
under one and the same flag and that management has successfully
corralled the operations' history and diverse roots under the
Securitas banner. We are well equipped to take on new challenges in
the USA"."During the past year, management in Europe has divided operations
and organized them to serve customers - with permanent guarding for
large customers, and patrolling and electronic alarm monitoring for
small and medium-sized customers.This specialization improves each
area's ability to develop its services, increase its growth and
create a focus within Securitas to develop the right type of customer
service - regardless of whether it concerns a large multinational
corporation, a small store in a large city or rural community, or a
security installation installed by a third party"."As regards Loomis - the Securitas cash management services and
secure transportation operations - we intend to divest the division
to shareholders and list the operation on the stock market in the
second half of the year, following the same procedure as was used for
Systems and Direct. This time plan is however dependent on stability
in the UK cash management operation"."We have begun the process of taking the Securitas strategy one step
further, and I intend to summarize and present this endeavor,
providing more substance and concrete examples, in conjunction with
the presentation of our six-month interim report in August".
