President and CEO Rune Glavare presented PartnerTech's sales and earnings figures for 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. Despite challenges in the market, he noted that the company's performance, technology and service offering had improved over the past year, thereby increasing customer value. Restructuring into six market areas was providing customers with greater transparency and focus. As part of the effort to boost sales in Eastern Europe, a new plant is opening in Myslowice, Poland this spring. Both capacity and competitiveness will benefit as a result. Greater options for final assembly, service and distribution in the United States, along with the geographic location of the new Polish unit, will expand PartnerTech's range of logistics and after-sales services. He concluded by pointing out that the company's strategic direction and ongoing change processes are positioning it well for the future while supplying it with the capacity and flexibility it needs to take on challenges and exploit new opportunities. Leif Thorwaldsson took over as President and CEO of PartnerTech at the meeting. He introduced himself and said that improved competitiveness, higher productivity and additional technological expertise are particularly important factors in permitting PartnerTech to offer more attractive services to its customers and to achieve success.
