Michael Berglin, CEO Serneke Group, comments:

“In accordance with our plans, Serneke Sweden’s contracting operations continue to generate additional stable profitability through discipline and by focusing on appropriate projects. Increased income and a positive trend in both operating profit and operating margin for the business area, compared with the first quarter last year, testify to this. I am pleased that we are succeeding in this despite the impact of the winter months and the price increases resulting from the global situation.”

“Although developments associated with the global situation entail possible impacts on housing construction among private clients, we perceive continued strong demand for community service properties going forward. Our order book remains strong, affording us security. It is worth noting here that some projects, initially developed in-house, have been divested but have yet to be entered in the order book, including projects in the Karlastaden district.”
