Nils Arthur, President and CEO of ProfilGruppen says:
“The quarter has been characterized by low delivery volumes and continued
uncertainty as to market trends. We have made adoptions to the prevailing market
conditions and have therefore during the quarter decided to make some additional
adjustments of the work force at the Group. 

While the market trend has necessitated defensive measures in the short term, we
have nevertheless been implementing ambitious marketing initiatives, which were
recently confirmed with the signing of a two year contract with the German
company Bosch.”
