Gerald Engström, President and CEO, comments:
"Our sales increased by 18.4 percent while our organic growth in the second quarter totalled 10.5 percent. This was generated by strong growth in our major markets, with Russia in the lead. The fact that we can also report an operating margin of 11.6 percent, is to us a sign of strength, in view of the uncertainty that prevails in many markets."
