Fredrik Zöögling, CEO and President of ProfilGruppen, comments:
“We look back on a year with very high demand, which has led to a new level. We have grown in every way. The main reason for higher turnover and earnings is the development in raw material prices.
We will continue with activities to strengthen the operating result. In the fourth quarter, we made an effort to adapt to a market where the cost base increased sharply. We aim to minimize the increased price risk in aluminium. We have also proactively secured the metal price in the raw material market. A number of ongoing improvement projects will make the remaining parts of the business more effective. At the same time, our customer base will be developed further.”
