“At this stage it seems that the most significant increase in material costs is now behind us,” he said. “However, visibility into next year's energy and material cost development is still limited.

We are able to support our customers in this important transition. […] In addition to this, we have identified additional new opportunities. A good example is the electrical conductor market in the buildings and infrastructure customer industry; the market will be opening up as a result of a key patent expiring.”
