Cargotec's President and
CEO Mika Vehviläinen:
Despite our many achievements, 2013 was financially
disappointing. However, it
was pleasing during the fourth quarter to see the
amount of orders received
increase, while cash flow continued to strengthen
from the third quarter.
MacGregor's growth strategy progressed significantly
during the fourth quarter.
Announced in July, the acquisition of Hatlapa was
completed in October. Then we
also announced our intention to acquire the Aker
Solutions' mooring and loading
systems unit. These acquisitions will position
MacGregor as a leading player in
the offshore equipment market.
Our main
target is to improve our profitability. During 2013, a great deal of
work was
done in developing our strengths. Although much remains to be done, I
expect
our efforts to bear fruit this year and also to be reflected in
the
results.
