The engineering company Finepart reports significantly higher net sales and improved operating profit in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the corresponding quarter last year. The improvement was driven mainly by a machine sale during the period. Net sales rose to SEK 7.5 million (2.8). Operating profit improved to SEK -0.2 million (-3.0). EBITDA amounted to SEK 0.2 million (-2.7). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 0 (0.08). According to CEO Lars Darvall, the company continues to see signs of increased activity among several customers after a period of longer investment cycles and greater caution in the market. Finepart also says that awareness of the Finecut technology remains a challenge, but that interest increases when customers understand the technology’s possibilities within precision-demanding applications. The company also highlights that its work on cost control and efficiency improvements continues to produce results. Over the past half-year, several structural changes have been implemented to create a long-term sustainable cost level, including by consolidating operations at a shared address.
