Continued high margins and increased acquisition activity

After a strong finish to 2025, sales were somewhat subdued at the beginning of the year, but the quarter ended with good growth and the underlying trends are clearly positive. With a strong balance sheet, the pace of acquisitions has increased and two acquisitions were completed in March and April."
Fredrik Dalborg, President and CEO
