- Our operation are stable and solid also in the underlying business areas, Managing Director Brynjar Forbergskog says in a press statement.
- We are highly engaged in constant renewal and edge-cutting operations, however, the result is also due to a tremendous effort from all our employees, he says.
Activities in sea transport and buses account for the largest turnover increase.
