Hans Ståhl, CEO NCAB Group We are looking to the future, despite challenging times
“We are pleased to have completed two acquisitions during the first few months of 2020. It is important to conduct these acquisitions and to continue growing, particularly in times such as these when we can clearly increase our added value for customers and suppliers. We are also proud of the successful completion of the directed share issue. We also increased our credit facilities, and after these measures had available liquidity of just over SEK 500 million after the end of the quarter. This gives us a strong financial position and greater financial flexibility. In exception times such as these, it means we will be able to grasp business opportunities that arise in the market and act swiftly. Such business opportunities may be acquisitions and investments in customer relationships. We will remain disciplined in our investments and use the financial flexibility within the framework of our existing business model.”, comments Hans Ståhl, CEO of NCAB.
