Roland Kasper, President and CEO, comments:

“Sales for the fourth quarter were on par with the previous year. We see it as a sign of strength considering that the comparative figures are relatively tough, and the market is uncertain in the short term. We are convinced that there are good opportunities for continued organic growth and improved profitability. We continue to invest long-term to strengthen our delivery capacity and product development. The commitment to a good indoor environment and technical innovation are central driving forces in our business, supported by global climate goals and directives in energy saving.”
