The rebound in consumer demand is slower than anticipated. After a sluggish start, as a result of the lower order intake in Q2, demand gradually improved during the quarter, with both sales and order intake increasing in September.“In the quarter, profitability was hampered by lower sales, a negative segment and geography mix, and a stronger Swedish krona“, says Fredrik Meuller, President and CEO of Inwido and continues: “Market activity varied considerably across Inwido's different geographies. In Sweden and Ireland, Consumer activity was higher, and both markets developed positively.
