Comments from CEO Bodil Sonesson:

  • It is pleasing to see that the performance of the Group is improving.
  • I am satisfied to see that the performance improvement programme starts to bring results. However, in some businesses there is still more to do as the results are slow to come.
  • The involvement of our Italian colleagues continues to increase, the networks and relationships continue to build in a positive way.
  • Organic growth remains the key focus for all workstreams, in the short and long term.
  • The strategic review and alignment process continues, with the objective to build an even stronger Fagerhult Group.
