Michael Berglin, CEO Serneke Group, comments:

– Contracting operations in Serneke Sweden continue to stabilize, with the fourth quarter showing an operating profit of SEK 32 million. We are more selective in our order bookings and more controlled in our deliveries. Hard work pays off and there are no shortcuts in this business – discipline and focus are essential in continuing to improve profitability.

– We enter 2022 strengthened by what we achieved together in 2021. Our course is set, with our sights focused on achieving good control and further strengthening the company’s culture. Developments over the past year have truly proven the resolute strength of the company’s employees. We also pipe aboard a partly new Group Management team, who will accelerate the process of delivering a more efficient and sustainable offering – demonstrating more clearly than ever that Serneke is a next generation company.
