The SKF Group’s sales the first two months of 2007 has developed very positively. This means that the volume growth for the first quarter of 2007 is expected to be better than what was anticipated in the outlook for the first quarter, issued in the full year report in January 2007. The outlook stated that the demand was expected to be “slightly higher”. The demand is now expected to be higher, due primarily to stronger sales in Europe and to sales to the automotive customers, both in Europe and the US, being stronger than expected.
