"During our first quarter, we recorded a sales increase of 21 percent. The increase is largely attributable to the acquisitions completed, Menerga in Germany, Holland Heating and HSK in Turkey. Gratifyingly, we can also report continued organic growth of 6 percent. During the quarter, we focused hard on integrating and restructuring the companies acquired."
