HANZA initiates consolidation of production sites

HANZA Holding AB (publ) announces a developed strategy to increase the companys
profitability during an unpredictable economic climate. Hanza initiates trade
union negotiations to move the company’s manufacturing site in Töreboda to other
HANZA sites.
In view of the prolonged recession in the industry and continued uncertainty
about the long-term economic situation has HANZA decided on a developed
strategy. The purpose is to affect the profitability positively through
consolidation of production sites and targeted, strategic acquisitions.

"As previously announced, 2014 meant both disappointments and gratifying,"
comments Erik Stenfors, CEO HANZA. "The orders by the largest customers were
significantly below their forecasts, which has had an adverse impact on
profitability. At the same time, HANZA implemented an IPO, acquired KA
Electronics and launched the new business consulting service MIG. Another
positive aspect, new customers and contracts has been obtained."
