INVISIO Year-end bulletin 2022: Back on the growth track - record high sales

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 

CEO comment

"There was a strong close to the year. Order intake in the last quarter amounted to almost SEK 300 million and sales to about SEK 290 million, the latter being the highest ever in a single quarter. The company is starting 2023 with a record-high order book of more than SEK 625 million. At the same time profitability has strengthened, the operating margin exceeds 20 per cent. The extensive forward-looking investments carried out in recent years relating to broadening the product portfolio, acquiring Racal Acoustics and streng­thening both the R&D and sales organizations, have resulted in INVISIO today being considerably stronger. This, combined the current market con­ditions, means that we predict continued strong sales and order intake in 2023."
