CEO's comments
The positive trend continued during the second quarter with significantly increased sales, which also had a positive impact on results. Activity levels have risen within all market segments in which the Group operates and the size of orders has steadily increased. The growth in volume means that there is a need for greater flexibility at the companies. The restructuring work of last year has resulted in more streamlined organisations and most of the Group’s companies have also succeeded in keeping costs down to a reasonable level.
