“The increase in sales occurred primarily because earnings are beginning to be generated from a few large and multiyear projects, which Sectra previously secured in the Medical Systems area,” says Jan-Olof Brüer, President and CEO of Sectra AB. “The improved net sales had a positive impact on operating profit.”
