Roland Kasper, President and CEO, comments:
"In the first quarter, growth totalled 11.6 percent, 4.2 percent organic. Several regions reported strong growth, notably Eastern Europe, led by Russia, and the Nordic region. The gross margin of 33.0 percent was lower than anticipated. In Sweden, France and Denmark, certain production disruptions occurred in connection with new machinery being commissioned and large numbers of new recruitments. The product mix also affected the gross margin negatively. The process of constructing a platform for more profitable growth going forward continues, in the form of profit-enhancing measures in production, purchasing, sales and logistics."
