Kitron reaffirms the goal of organic revenue growth leading to revenue of NOK 3 billion in 2020, with additional revenue from the acquisition of the EMS division of API Technologies.

The company also reaffirms the targets of 7 percent EBIT margin and 25 percent return on operating capital in 2020.

The company has also extended the strategic horizon from 2020 and set the following financial ambitions for 2025:
