QUOTE FROM THE CEO
“In the first quarter 2013 we reported a decline in sales, partly as a result of continued weakness in our European retail markets. At the same time we still see a need to expand wisely for future growth. During the quarter we took an important step through the acquisition of the Finnish operations from the former distributor,” said CEO Arthur Engel.
