“We report strong sales growth, both organic and totally, driven by a strong recovery in the LCP segment. Within the SMB segment, both growth and profitability were negatively impacted by temporary low customer activity around the Christmas and New Year period, as well as limited supply to computers with Intel processors during the first half of the quarter. After the end of the quarter, we have signed agreements to acquire Inventio.IT, Norisk and Chilit. The acquisitions further strengthen our offering in Denmark, the Netherlands and Finland”, says Thomas Ekman, President and CEO of Dustin.
