Stille AB: Interim Report Q3 2021
Stille delivered growth both organically as well as through the acquisition of Swiss company S&T AG. Organic sales grew by 12% compared to the same quarter previous year.
“The acquisition of S&T means that business unit Surgical Instruments has doubled in size. The integration of the company is progressing according to plan. Our main focus is to realize identified cross-selling synergies within both product and distribution network”, says CEO Hanna Ernestam Wilkman.
Revenues grew for both business unit Surgical Instruments (44%) as well as business unit C-arm Tables (14%).
“I am particularly satisfied to see that our expansion in the US continues with a growth of 34%. This despite of disruptions in the supply chain, disruptions that may continue to affect the business.
