Announcing the results achieved in the first quarter of this year, today Kalmar's president and CEO, Sami Niiranen, said that currently, considering the new elements of uncertainty introduced in the global economic scenario, it is difficult to formulate forecasts on the company's future performance: "we have found - Niiranen has explained - some first signs of resumption of the question at the beginning of the year, in particular in the segment of the final customers of the distribution, which has long been weak. However, today's world is different than a few months ago, with a higher level of uncertainty related to recent announcements on duties, geopolitical tensions and the risk of a global macroeconomic recession. It is too early to draw conclusions on how this will affect our sector, the context of demand and global trade in the short term, but - it has specified - we will monitor the situation carefully and we have elaborated several scenarios and are ready to act quickly, if necessary".
