Interim Report January - March 2011
Magnus Yngen, President and CEO:”The year started off with strong demand in the North American market and we have a strong product line-up to meet the growing demand. However, we have not been able to capitalize on this due to production disturbances in our largest plant in North America. The disturbances negatively affected shipments and increased costs significantly. Costs were approximately SEK 150m higher, whereof the majority in March. We are taking measures in order to resolve the situation and to minimize the impact for our customers but we will continue to have high costs throughout
