The international recession grew worse in the first quarter and contributed to weaker demand in important product markets in Orkla Aluminium Solutions and Orkla Materials.

Orkla has implemented and planned extensive measures in order to adapt production capacity and costs to the challenging market situation.

Orkla's EBITA came to NOK 233 million (NOK 1,029 million)¹ in the first quarter.
