Stille AB: Year-End Report 2020

Turnover for the fourth quarter increased to 45.0 MSEK (40.8) and operating profit to 8.7 MSEK (6.3). For the full year 2020, turnover reached 142.6 MSEK (156.7) and operating profit 10.2 MSEK (18.2).

It has been a tough year, but it is great that we end the year with a historically strong quarter where all business areas and product lines display growth compared to previous year, says the CEO and simultaneously notes that it is unclear whether or not the demand has stabilized. It does however remain clear that the healthcare system in several countries will need to deal with the growing care debt and we are ready to assist them, she says.

I am proud of our employees and the progress the company has made during 2020 despite the challenges COVID-19 has posed. We enter the 180th financial year of the company determined in our belief that Stille will deliver quality products to the healthcare system for at least the next 180 years as well, concludes Hanna Ernestam Wilkman.
