Abstract from President and CEO’s address to the AGM
Göran Gezelius, Gunnebo’s President and CEO, opened his second address to shareholders at an AGM by giving an account of developments at Gunnebo’s in 2006, and of the Gunnebo One Company integration programme that was brought to completion during the year.

He then commented in detail on the task of implementing the far-reaching integration programme, which, in all essentials, followed the agreed timetable and cost budgets, except in the case of Gunnebo France, where the integration will be finalised in 2007. The principal object of Gunnebo One Company is to sell through fewer companies with a more uniform structure to Gunnebo’s main banking and retail customers, as well as to high risk installations with a need for perimeter protection, thereby generating higher organic growth and thus improved profitability.

In conclusion, Göran Gezelius gave an account of the financials that had been achieved in 2006 as well as those that Gunnebo expects to be able to achieve in 2007.
