美卓的年度股东大会，2011年3月30日:总裁兼首席执行官马蒂Kähkönen的审查

在今天下午3点开始的美卓公司年度股东大会上，总裁兼首席执行官马蒂Kähkönen报告说，美卓公司在今年年初的运营环境的发展继续符合公司的预期。“结合2011年2月3日发布的财务报表，我们预计今年大部分客户行业将继续逐步复苏。市场的发展支持了这一观点:在新订单方面，今年年初对我们有利”，总裁兼首席执行官表示。“在2011年的头几个月，由于客户产能利用率的提高，我们的服务业务发展良好。更重要的是，我们的客户已经在一些更大的项目上做出了决定”，马蒂Kähkönen评论道。他说:“发达市场经济复苏脆弱，通胀压力加大等因素造成了总体乐观前景的不确定性。积极的一面是，新兴市场的需求保持稳定，采矿业的前景继续改善，预计我们所有业务对服务的需求都将保持强劲。”Matti Kähkönen继续说道:今天，美卓在市场上的地位非常强大，我们的财务状况和战略基础稳固。我们有能力从全球大趋势中受益。新兴市场的良好经济发展不仅支撑了对金属、能源和其他基础设施解决方案以及纸张和纸板的需求，也为我们提供了绝佳的机遇。 Our strong position in services is based on long-term customer relationships and our extensive installed equipment base, and we are continuously developing our services portfolio.
