CEO´S COMMENTS
Our strong position in strategically selected segments continued to generate strong growth in the quarter. With a high level of customer activity and a favourable order situation in all business areas, sales increased by 30 percent against tough comparisons, of which 14 percent organic. Despite continued high inflationary pressure, we defended our margins in the quarter. EBITA increased by 37 percent with an EBITA margin of 13.5 percent. The strong demand continued in the quarter and we currently see very few signs of a slowdown in customer activities.
