Jan 16, 2009. /Lesprom.com/. The Finnish paper industry research company KCL announces that its solution sales increased to Euro 6 million in 2008. The record-high volume represents an increase of 56% compared to the previous year (Euro 3.8 million), the company said in a statement received by Lesprom Network. “In the midst of general financial crises, KCL is proud to report record-high volume of solution sales for 2008. For the first time, the whole company united behind our goal of selling contract projects. Despite the difficulties in the overall paper industry, our sales climbed up to Euro 6 million, a 56% increase,” says Kaarlo Niskanen, President of KCL. With exception of the 1Q 2008, KCL's solution sales volume was exceptionally high all year long. This was due partially because KCL launched and empowered a new management group to focus and further develop KCL’s business as one entity, the company says.
