Nils Arthur, ProfilGruppen´s President and CEO, says:

”As a whole I’m satisfied with the development of the period and especially that we have strengthened the margins. However, the deliveries and the result for the third quarter, become lower than expected due to temporary disturbances in deliveries.

During October we acquired 18 per cent of the German company PWG, the leading supplier in Europe of aluminium guides for sunroof systems to the automotive industry and this acquisition is an important step in our strategy for a further internationalization. The cooperation with PWG will give us valuable technical knowledge and, not least, potential for increased volumes.”
