Comment by CEO Peter Blom
Fuud is in a position to develop strongly in the coming years. In 2021, we changed the company's focus towards becoming a leading Functional Foods company in the Nordic region. Through acquisitions and organic growth, we will see a rapid improvement in profitability in 2022.
I am often asked if it has not become more difficult to find potential acquisition objects. My assessment is that I have probably never experienced that there are so many interesting and profitable candidates as now.
It can be added that through the right people and the right agreements, we can more easily and in a faster manner take leverage of future acquisitions. Our ambitious plan will continue to require that we have the right attitude, that we are serious and disciplined. Our started journey is ambitious in nature and is based on strong commercial foundations.
Our plan is to further strengthen our position in the Nordic region within Functional Foods with the goal of achieving a leading position by the end of 2025.
We are ready to take the next step in our geographical expansion. The next step means that we take the step into Denmark.
In the next year, we will launch several new products and brands. We have strengthened our organization to meet the new challenges, and Fuud currently has all the prerequisites to succeed. Fuud is an interesting alternative for shareholders who want to invest in Functional Foods. We look with confidence at our ability to continue to deliver rapid and increasingly profitable growth. - Peter Blom, September 2021.
