CEO´s comments
We are starting the business year according to plan with continued growth and good profitability in all business areas. A high level of customer activity in the companies generated organic growth of 7 percent and EBITA-growth of 22 percent with high margins despite tough comparisons. Our international expansion continues and, during the period, we strengthened our operations with six additional acquisitions, of which four were outside the Nordic region. Our well-positioned and entrepreneur-driven companies with their strong relationships with customers and suppliers continue to demonstrate their strength and to generate value growth.
