Beijer Electronics' Annual Report 2011

High sales growth as a result of the successful 2010 acquisitions as well as major investments in technology development and product development. More information is in Beijer Electronics' Annual Report 2011, published today on the company's website, www.beijerelectronics.se.

Self-developed products dominate sales as Beijer Electronics presents the best year yet. Several new products and solutions were launched during the year, among others, the company's advanced industrial data communications solutions for the rail segment which scored big successes. In total, self-developed products make up 80% of the company's sales.

In the year, the company also launched major initiatives within direct sales and geographical expansion. Sales resources were upscaled in the US, Europe and Asia, and the company has increased its geographical presence through new ventures in Brazil and India, both strong growth economies.

In his comments on the year, President and CEO Fredrik Jönsson said: "In our sector, future-focused and customer-oriented product development is an absolute necessity for success on the market. In 2011, we invested more funds than ever before in our development operation, and we got a very good pay-off in the form of world-leading products and solutions."
