Year-end report 2009

"Sales picked up in the fourth quarter and the cost-cutting measures we initiated last spring have had a visible impact on costs. All in all, this resulted in a strong end to 2009," says Bong’s President and CEO Anders Davidsson. "We also continued our efforts to free up working capital, which contributed to a very healthy cash flow for the full year."
