Extract from the CEO statement
Great potential through continuous improvements
On 1 December 2005 I took on the position of President and CEO of ASSA ABLOY. During my first few months I have concentrated on visiting as many Group companies as possible. My first assessment is that the Group has great potential for the future, with experienced staff and a good position in the market.
