During the meeting, Lars Renström, Group President and CEO, talked about the recovery in demand seen in 2010 when orders rose some 11 percent to 23.9 billion kronor. The development was solid across most segments and regions and India, boosted by a growing middle class, climbed to become Alfa Laval’s third largest market, after the US and China. The delay between orders and sales affected revenues but profitability improved and the EBITA margin reached 18.9 percent for the full year.
