INVISIO Year-end bulletin 2021: A challenging 2021 ended with strong order intake that has continued in 2022

CEO comment
”Market activity increased gradually at the end of 2021. A clear result of that is the five-year framework agreement we recently signed with the system integrator of a European vehicle program for the new RA4000 Magna™-headset. The contract is expected to be worth a total of approximately SEK 275 million. The future-oriented investments we have made, which include the acquisition of Racal Acoustics, have further strengthened our market-leading position. Although deliveries in early 2022 may still be affected by the pandemic, we believe in a return to more normal conditions in INVISIO’s markets during the year,” says Lars Højgård Hansen, CEO of INVISIO.
