year heritage, strong financial momentum, and skilled, engaged people. Our new
strategy is not a revolution, but an evolution that builds on our foundation
while addressing the opportunities ahead. We are proud of our achievements - and
ready to grow further Together, comments Atria Plc's CEO Kai Gyllström.

capture profitable growth opportunities and will during our strategy period
invest relatively more into these categories.
