CEO´s comments
Our strong position in strategically selected growth areas continues to deliver good organic growth in all business areas. Thanks to the commitment and hard work of our entrepreneurial driven companies, we continue to cope with a strained supply chain and an ongoing pandemic and we were, on the whole, able to capture the quarter's high level of demand and deliver in accordance with our commitments. Combined with several project deliveries towards the end of the period, this resulted in a total sales increase of 24 percent, of which 13 percent was organic. Addtech's strategy and business model work very well and the conditions to continue generating sustainable profitable growth are good, concludes Niklas Stenberg, CEO.
