Árni Oddur Thórdarson, CEO:

“Third quarter was a good quarter for Marel. We have managed to be at the customer, for the customer while refocusing our business. Order intake and revenue increased by 20% compared with the previous year with good improvement in operational results.

“We worked on modernization and expansion projects with long time partners in the U.S. and Europe during the quarter. The customer base expanded in growing markets as we secured several small and medium sized Greenfields in Africa, Asia and South America.

“There is a clear tailwind in our markets. With a focused market approach and decisive steps towards lowering the cost base we are in the position to create good value going forward.”
