CEO´s comments
The second quarter can be summed up as another strong quarter with high levels of customer activity in all business areas. Total sales increased by 36 percent, of which 19 percent was organic growth. Despite continued disruptions in the value chains and increased prices for input goods, our entrepreneurial companies succeeded in meeting their customer commitments and, through active dialogues with customers and suppliers, defended their operating margins in a highly satisfactory manner. EBITA increased by 37 percent with a historically high margin of 13.2 percent. Demand remained strong during the quarter and we currently see no clear signs of a general slowdown in customer activity.
