President and CEO
Ulf Ahlén comments on the first quarter of 2012;

“Operating margin is
sustained and cash flow generation is in line with operating earnings. From a
sales viewpoint we saw differing developments between the regions. In North
America we had strong sales in the quarter which were in line with expectations
and the market development. In Europe our sales developed well whilst the market
as expected was down. Concerns still exists around the European market and we
continue to monitor the development closely. Sales started out more weak in
South America and Asia, however the development improved by the end of the
quarter.
           After the prior years’ work with process optimization,
Haldex is today a much leaner and more flexible organization, with improved
production and business processes. We now continue our efforts and have
initiated a program focusing on production, engineering, sales, administration
functions.”
