President and CEO Panu Routila:

“Our goal is to be a leading industrial and port technology company across operations. The strategic focus areas for the next 2-3 years continue to be growth, profitability, technology and people. In 2018, the integration will proceed, but at the same time, we will start gearing up for growth.

Our result improvement has been strong in 2017 as the restructuring actions of 2016 and MHPS acquisition-related synergy benefits have supported profitability as expected. Looking at 2018, we expect MHPS acquisition-related synergy benefits with a P&L impact of EUR 40-50 million and savings of EUR 12 million in net interests. Our target to reach the MHPS acquisition related synergies of EUR 140 million on a run-rate basis by the end of 2019 remains intact.”
