Peter Schön, Acting CEO of ProfilGruppen, says:
“Under 2011 a program was initiated to strengthen the long-term competitiveness and profitability of the group. New competences have been added, the organisation has been made more efficient and both customer focus and productivity improvement work have been strengthened. Complications in the form of fire damages and production losses have consumed much energy and unfortunately had a negative impact on the result for 2011. However, in total we are well prepared for 2012 and will continue with our improvement program in order to reach our financial targets."
