Update: Q3 wins highlight strategy

Kongsberg Automotive’s (KA) Q3 results highlighted that the business is resilient in the face of market uncertainty and is successful in gaining technologically-driven wins. The focus remains on delivering improved returns through higher-margin contracts and improved asset utilisation. An example of this is KA’s downscaling of production at its Rollag, Norway, facility by 2018, outsourcing production of high manual content forgings and focusing on higher value-added machining. The group is also investing in R&D, as shown by several significant wins in Q3 and the opening of a new Driveline technology centre.
