Eggert Þór Kristófersson, CEO of Festi:

“The year is off to a good start and we are pleased with the results of the first quarter. Our expectations were that the consequences of the pandemic on the supply chain over the last 2 years would rebound this year but the first war in Europe since 1945 completely changed that picture. It is clear that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has had a major impact on prices in commodity markets and further increased uncertainty in the supply chain. We will continue to strive to serve our customers as best as possible and look for ways to increase efficiency and thereby counteract the current price increases from vendors that we are facing.” says Eggert Þór Kristófersson, CEO of Festi.
