Arjo 2020 – back to profitable growth

When Arjo became a standalone company in December 2017, we launched a strategy based on five focus areas to return to profitable growth. We have reached our goal of three years profitable growth through a structured approach including a number of operative measures, development projects, established market presence and launches. Today, Arjo is a stable and more efficient organization with a strong commercial focus.
We have built a solid foundation for taking the next strategic steps toward becoming a Mobility Outcome Partner for healthcare.
