President and CEO Bo Annvik comments on the second quarter of 2012;
“In the quarter Haldex experienced a stable sales performance in North America but a slightly weaker demand in Europe due to the economic uncertainty. Sales in Asia was also slightly down due to a softening in demand. Haldex delivered a strong cash flow in the quarter and the cost reduction program initiated in Q1 is proceeding according to plan and will continue into Q3. The recently announced new organizational structure to further reduce complexity and optimize the processes through the entire value chain and improve performance is being implemented in a good way.”
