Also the delivery volumes to the export markets have increased. Unfortunately we still have a number of old agreements, which over time, has become disadvantageous for us. As a consequence the result improvement takes longer time." _____________________________________________ For more information, please contact: Kåre Wetterberg, acting CEO Mobile +46 (0)70-656 40 14 E-mail: kare.wetterberg@profilgruppen.se Peter Schön, CFO Mobile +46 (0)70-339 89 99 E-mail: peter.schon@profilgruppen.se ProfilGruppen is a supplier of customised aluminium extrusions and components.
