Roland Kasper, President and CEO, comments:
"In the fourth quarter organic growth topped 4 percent, while profit also improved somewhat compared with last year. This made a positive end to the year but that still does not entirely fill us with satisfaction. We embarked on a restructuring programme with an estimated total future cost of about SEK 45 million. The annual cost saving from the programme as a whole is calculated at SEK 45 million, with full impact emerging within two years. Additionally, actions to increase profit are under way in a number of areas. Our goal is clear: Systemair will return to an operating margin in excess of 10 percent, while we will maintain growth."
