BEIJER GROUP has focused on emerging stronger from the pandemic, and the economic challenges that dominated the global economy over the past two years. During the period, the Group maintained a balanced tempo of product development, launching a stream of new products, and advanced its positioning in product and market terms. In the year, the Westermo business unit acquired German enterprise Eltec. Westermo also launched several new solutions focusing on intelligent power networks in the energy segment. The Beijer Electronics business unit introduced 16 new products, with software upgrades including iX software, which hade new functionality added. The investments will pave the way for continued high growth.
Departing and new CEOs Per Samuelsson and Jenny Sjödahl write in the CEO comment that great emphasis is put on increasing profitability in the direction of the targets. After the pandemic, there is room to increase productivity. Price increases, implemented to compensate for higher purchasing costs, will have an impact in 2022. The merger between Beijer Electronics and Korenix will continue to develop, providing new opportunities. BEIJER GROUP has also moved into the new year with a record order book and the Group is considered to have good potential to keep reporting improved financial results for 2022 compared to 2021.
