"The effect of the falling raw material price and the one-time cost that it caused give a temporary setback in the earnings trend, but we are at the same time pleased that the sales and underlying business continues to develop in the right direction. Our activities to even better meeting our customers’ expectations and to improve efficiency proceed in all parts of our business.

The startup of our new production facility, in the subsidiary PG&WIP AB, is according to plan and the deliveries will begin in the beginning of 2016. ”
