Comments from the CEO
"In my visits to stores, logistics centres and customers, I have found a company that is characterized by strong expertise, a high level of commitment and the drive to help our customers in their everyday business."
"The second quarter was characterised by stable development and improved profitability, although the market remained cautious in several customer segments."
"Sales work remains a priority and there are good opportunities both in gaining more small and medium-sized customers and broadening the customer base in all countries and in further developing large-customer business through improved sales management and increased cross-selling."
"Alligo is a well-run company with a strong foundation to build on. I am humbly looking forward to taking the next steps in Alligo's growth journey together with our employees, customers and partners."
