Wästbygg Group’s interim report for January-March 2026: In the right direction towards profitable operations

“After a few challenging years with significant losses, the Wästbygg Group has started 2026 with positive earnings, which feels promising. This is happening in parallel with a gradually stronger construction market and identified opportunities for further cost savings within the company. We have also strengthened the company financially after the rights issue was carried out and, in addition, significantly reduced our debt”, says Patrik Mellgren, CEO Wästbygg Group.
