Organic volume-based sales growth amounted to 1% for the period January to December compared to the same period last year.

“Decreasing raw material prices has, to some extent, impacted our customers purchasing behavior and resulted in a degree of restraint. We have noted similar market dynamics before and have no reason to reevaluate the long-term underlying demand for our products or our leading position within global niche segments. Instead we view this as a question of timing”, says President & CEO Jan Secher.
