 Comments by Heikki Vauhkonen, Managing Director:Net sales increased in the third quarter as the Covid-19 pandemic increased consumers’ interest in renovation, holiday homes and single family housing in both Finland and export countries.Profitability improved as a result of price increases, productivity measures and savings in fixed costs.The company’s incoming orders totalled EUR 7.9 (7.2) million in the third quarter. In Finland, order flow grew in all product groups. Demand growth was greatest for sauna and interior decoration stone products. Central European and Russian exports also developed favourably during the third quarter. Tulikivi’s order books at the end of the review period amounted to EUR 4.0 (3.8) million.The Covid-19 pandemic has so far had a positive effect on demand for Tulikivi products, but the strengthening of the second wave of the pandemic has led to restrictions in Central Europe, which may hinder business operations in the second half of the year.The Tulikivi Corporation subsidiary Nordic Talc Oy, founded in April 2020, is planning a feasibility study of the Suomussalmi talc project, the purpose of which is to further specify the project’s profitability, environmental and mining plans for industrial operations.
