Roland Kasper, President and CEO, comments: "This was my first quarter as CEO of Systemair. The second quarter is normally our strongest period, but a relatively weak market in several countries resulted in growth of 5 percent and lower profitability. Nevertheless, we can for the twenty-third consecutive quarter report organic growth, on this occasion of 3.6 percent. The operating margin was 8.3 percent, negatively affected by declining volumes in Russia. We are engaged in a number of activities and restructuring measures to boost earnings."
