Further growth potential
Ray Mauritsson, President of Axis comented: "After three very strong quarters with sales growth, measured in local currencies, of well over 30 percent, we noted a sales increase during the second quarter which was more in line with long-term expectations.
Axis operates in a rapidly growing market and our expansion plans remain unchanged. We passed the level of 1000 employees in the second quarter, and expect the high rate of recruitment to continue during the second half of 2011. We have also established cooperation with new distributors, including in China and in the UK. Consequently, there is a good basis for a continued positive development within network video in line with the expected annual growth potential of 25-30 percent per year."
