CEO Erik Stenfors comments on the report:
"During the quarter, we saw continued good demand from HANZA's broad customer base. To meet the growth, we are working to expand capacity through efficiency improvements. Q2 was therefore our strongest quarter to date in terms of earnings with an operating margin of 8.6 per cent (6.4). In the Main Markets segment, the margin now reaches as much as 11.1 per cent, which is industry leading. Furthermore, cash flow continues to be strong despite the expansion requiring working capital."
"HANZA also continues to win brand new business and one example is the agreement we signed with Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe in early July. It is a large deal - we estimate the order value to be significantly over SEK 100 million per year - but above all, it is a good example of our unique offer to simplify supply chains. We see that the need is increasing, not least because of a changing world."
"A cornerstone for HANZA is a long-term approach. We look forward to continuing to be a fast-growing company for a long time and thus also during different economic phases. And with profitability that increases for simple and clear reasons."

09/02/2025 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak InterpretedIn my May column, I examined the topic of the CHIPS Act and its current status as a U.S. government program.

However, CHIPS integrated circuits—mostly administered by the Department of Commerce—don’t fully drive the electronics interconnection activity being funded by the government. Let’s cover the progress/status of other programs:
