Comments from the CEO Fredrik Berglund
“We note a significant increase in the order intake and sales in the
first quarter. The higher growth rate during the autumn of 2010 has
continued throughout the first part of 2011. The expansion has also a
good mix of recurring and new customers and a wide geographical spread.
We have taken important deals in America, Asia and Europe. Furthermore,
the volume delivered to customers has never been so high during a first
quarter. Our margin was, on the other hand, lower in this past quarter,
mainly due to negative currency effects, however, the underlying margin
is still favorable. In all, we expect to be able to generate higher net
sales and profit for the full year 2011 as compared to 2010.
