Segment reporting

 

The division into business areas reflects Addtech’s internal organisation and reporting system. Addtech reports its business areas as operating segments. Until 31 March 2019, Addtech was organised into four business areas: Components, Energy, Industrial Process and Power Solutions. From the beginning of the new financial year, the Group has implemented a reorganisation, establishing a fifth business area. The new business area, Automation, has been created by splitting the Components business area.

 

This organisational change is intended increase the potential for growth and efficiency among the companies, by allowing them to more readily benefit from one another’s networks and experience. The split into Components and Automation, allows Addtech to benefit more efficiently from continued industrial development and to create further opportunities for value-generating acquisitions, strengthening Addtech’s market positions in selected market segments. The reorganisation also opens up career paths for additional key individuals within Addtech.
