Raute’s net sales and operating profit for 2016 are expected to remain at the same level as in 2015.

Tapani Kiiski, president and CEO said: "We can be reasonably satisfied with the net sales and operating profit for the first quarter, which are in line with our estimates based on the order book at the beginning of the year. We were thus successful in executing the projects in our order book mainly as planned."
