Per Thorsell, CEO of ProfilGruppen, comments:

”With pride we report the best quarterly profit so far in the history of the company, we continue to grow faster than the market and we increase our profitability.  

The growth with better utilization of capacity and better efficiency throughout the organization creates a stable base from which we will build further. We will continue on the same path striving and targeting for our customers to percieve us as the most forward leaning company in our business.

Especially gratifying is the decision we communicated earlier today about an investment in new extrusion capacity and modern technology to further strengthen our competitiveness and possibility to grow in the market.“
