We grow organically by 4,1%, with a strong profitability development where we report our highest gross margin for a single quarter to date, and our adjusted operating profit increases by 45% in comparable currencies. Our rental business grows by double-digit numbers with a solid performance in core rental both in the US and Europe. At the end of the quarter we also saw an accelerated activity level in capital sales, especially within the Patient handling category which grows 15% in the quarter,” says Joacim Lindoff, President & CEO.

“Although the pandemic continues to impact the market, this quarter indicated a gradual return to a more normal and long-term sustainable demand. The solid start to 2021 strengthens our view for the full year and we look forward to another exciting and successful year for Arjo,” adds Joacim Lindoff.
