Press release Hillerstorp, Sweden, 15 July 2026, 08:00 CEST
"Overall, the quarter was the Group's strongest ever in terms of both order intake and sales. Demand improved, although in several areas it remains difficult to assess and relatively weak in some of our key segments. The fact that customers' confidence in our products and services remained strong despite the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty is, in my view, a proof of strength."
Martin Nyström,
President and CEO
