Fredrik Zöögling, CEO and President of ProfilGruppen, comments:
“The quarter was characterized by a turbulent raw material market, which caused a shortage of raw materials and pushed aluminum prices to completely new levels. Thanks to active external monitoring, we have been able to parry the turbulence in a good way. The positive inventory effects caused by the increased aluminum prices have had a strong effect on our result in the quarter and I the price level remains we expect an even larger effect in the fourth quarter. The doubled energy prices in electricity area 4 have continued to affect us negatively. Our underlying result is not satisfying and we strive to increase it to a sustainable level.
The raw material situation and shortage of components create some unpredictability on the market, despite that we currently experience continued strong demand.”
