Thank you. A warm welcome to this presentation of Hansa's first-quarter 2025.
I'm Erik Stenfors, the CEO of the company, and I'm glad to give you this update together with our CFO, Lars Akerblom.
So as we all know, we are in a turbulent period of the global economy and therefore we are pleased to present a solid report, but also, a clear roadmap for the future. And to provide a better understanding of where we are right now and where we're heading, we will start with a short general overview.
So for many years, the traditional routes for global manufacturing have been blocked. One by one for various reasons, we see some examples on this slide. And it was the pandemic who opened the eyes how fragile the global supply chains are.
