  • In June Bulten decided to initiate a strategic review of which products should be manufactured in-house versus externally sourced in the future, as well as how the company should be organized. The review includes an assessment of the potential consequences of consolidating and/or divesting one or more of the Group’s manufacturing facilities.

“Q2 results were in line with both the previous year and the previous quarter. Sales to segments such as medtech and consumer electronics were strong, while volumes for light vehicles fell slightly as a result of the downturn in the automotive sector. We intensified our efforts to develop a new strategy during the quarter, and also started a review of Bulten’s organization and resource allocation”, says Axel Berntsson, President and CEO.

A live presentation for analysts, media and investors will be held today at 11:00 AM CEST, during which President and CEO Axel Berntsson and CFO Anna Åkerblad will comment on the result. The presentation will be conducted in English and include a Q&A session.
