Group President’s Review ast year was the fourth in a row in which the world was in crisis. Much has happened, but no decisive politi- cal decision has been made. LThe EU, US and Japan battled onward down a staked out path which we all should realise is untenable in the long term. Some- times reality gives rise to vision, but not in 2012. It is clear to anyone who is not com- pletely shut off from the rest of the world and the global economy that we are heading fast down a dead end street. There seems to be no will for a slowdown. Instead, it seems we are going to have to end in total chaos before we come to our senses, and that is not going to happen volun- tarily but by force.

In North America, construction activity remained healthy in general, but the substantial year-over-year gains witnessed during previous years exhibited signs of waning. In Central Europe, Germany continued to benefit from consumer-driven expansion in the economy. A strong labour market and low mortgage rates translated into increased demand for residential buildings, leading to a significant increase in residential building projects and several, all-time-high builder confidence readings. However, the much larger residential renovation segment remained flat. The non-residential segment was healthy but, in some cases, external political and economic uncertainties made businesses hesitant to initiate new projects. In the Netherlands, construction activity continued to grow, but at a reduced rate. In Southwest Europe, construction market demand in Spain and France picked up modestly from rather low levels, while the Italian market continued to be soft.

  • History of the KWH Group Birth and History of the KWH Group
    History of the KWH Group Birth and history of the KWH Group As a business, the KWH Group goes right back to the 1920s and 30s. The Group proper was formed in 1984, when Oy Keppo Ab bought up the half of Oy Wiik & Höglund Ab’s shares held by the Wiik family. This was a logi- cal step, as Oy Keppo Ab had already bought 50% of the company from the Höglund family in 1981. Emil Hög- lund had been involved in the foundation of both companies, so their managements felt a strong sense of soli- darity despite their different operating areas. To get a clear picture of the KWH Group’s past, one must examine the histories of Keppo and Wiik & Hög- lund separately. Wiik & Höglund is the older company of the two, so let us start there. WIIK & HÖGLUND 1929–1953 They started up with modest capital. Emil Höglund managed to secure a private loan, while Edvin Wiik invested One August night in 1929 Emil Höglund and Edvin Wiik his and his father’s savings as start capital. Right from the start were sitting at the Finnström inn in Maxmo discussing their the division of labour was clear: The company was to engage future. They were both in the timber business, Emil Höglund in trade in round timber, pit props and pulpwood. Wiik was as a clerk at Hellnäs Sawmill and Edvin Wiik as an indepen- to see to the buying, while Höglund, who had studied at a dent buyer and major supplier for sawmills. Hellnäs Sawmill commercial college and spent some time in England in 1928, had fallen on hard times and defaulted on its payments.

Consumers on both continents continued to benefit from a strong labour market that in turn drove growth in residential new build projects. Although more cautious than consumers, businesses increased investments in non-residential construction projects, too. As in previous years during this prolonged growth cycle, a pronounced lack of skilled labour continued to challenge builders’ ability to take on new projects. In Uponor’s largest Central European market, Germany, residential building permits fell from their post-unification peak, but remained at elevated levels that continued to provide a backlog of multi- family housing projects. Spending on new residential projects grew, while the significantly larger renovation segment was flat compared to the previous year. Non-residential building grew slightly, but was at a similarly low level as in previous years.
