Review by President and CEO
Last year, the year of COVID-19, was challenging in terms of demand in the security sector, while sales of medical applications saw double-digit growth. Our financial performance remained at a good level and our competitive position strengthened – growth drivers in the market are also in the right place for future growth.
The number of active customers increased by nearly 20%, being 330 at the end of the review period: we acquired new customers in all our businesses. We also won product projects that are important for our competitive position. The year also saw a high number of product launches in all target markets. In our view, we are in a good position to benefit from new business opportunities in years to come, and we will be able to flexibly meet increasing demand as the security market is revived.
