Our strategy is to pursue profitable growth in our product businesses, Residential Roofing and Building Components. In the project business, Building Systems, we want to further improve profitability by developing our project and product portfolio. Our business operations in Russia were fully independent and so the transaction has no implications for our operations in other countries," says Sami Eronen, President of Ruukki Construction.
