• The limited access to electronic components impacted the production rate in GARO E-mobility during the second quarter, resulting in a substantial increase in the order book.
• Component and material supply within GARO E-mobility looks more promising for the second half of the year and the business area is therefore expected to once again post year-on-year growth.
• There is a strong sales trend in the UK and GARO is expanding operations to new, larger premises in Birmingham.
