CEO Krister Blomgren comments:

“We entered 2023 with a strong order book, which, combined with high production capacity and improved supply chains, yielded record-high sales. The full impact of price increases implemented in 2022 combined with stabilised material costs generated a strong gross margin. As part of our business model, we purchase components that we then assemble in our production. This business model, combined with our centralised support functions, provide us with the opportunity to quickly adapt operations based on the prevailing circumstances. This has a strong impact in periods of economic boom since our sales companies are able to increase sales and the activity level without any significant effect on the cost structure, which was demonstrated clearly by the strong earnings in the quarter.

Despite considerable uncertainty in the business environment with assessed lower volumes in the quarters ahead, we are not slowing the pace of our activities. Our business model – with capital-efficient production, a high rate of innovation and close contact with our end customers – provides us with the opportunity of adapting our operations. We are investing according to plan in our growth markets and to increase production capacity at our factory in Poland. It is more important than ever to market our products by participating in exhibitions, demo days and through interaction with end customers to meet future demand. By meeting the people who use our products on a daily basis, we gain an understanding of their needs, enabling us to continue to develop our products with the end customer in focus. This is how we are changing the world of digging.”
