CEO Erik Stenfors comments on the report:
"The acquisition of Leden Group strengthens our expertise and presence in Finland and the Baltic countries and has already opened doors to new customer dialogues. The company has shown good profitability and is now being rapidly integrated into our operations.
Despite a continued weak economic situation, we see organic growth towards the end of the quarter, driven by new business. Our offering of complete and regional manufacturing is well-timed, not least in light of new tariffs and increased geopolitical uncertainty.
With a strong start to the year, a stable financial position, and further planned activities, we confidently reiterate our financial targets, including an operating margin of 8% for the full year 2025."
