In his speech CEO Magnus Nilsson talked about a continued price press on the market. Elanders is countering this by moving production capacity and lower margin volumes from Western Europe mainly to our units in Eastern Europe and Asia. Customers are making higher demands on availability and Elanders is meeting them through automated and standardized processes. We are also working on developing local customers with global needs and the first step in this process is a global sales organization. In addition to greater opportunities for global production our customers will notice this through a broader product range.
The protocol from the Annual General Meeting will be available on the company homepage as soon as the minutes have been verified.
