The pandemic has increased the demand for Suominen’s products in all of its markets. Towards the end of the second quarter of 2021 the demand started to decelerate especially in North America, but the demand has started to recover in late Q3. In the long run the market and Suominen’s expectation is that demand will remain above pre-Covid-19 levels. Suominen’s financial position has remained strong throughout the pandemic.
