Jörgen Rosengren, President and CEO of Gränges, commented on the company's second-quarter performance in an interview published on July 16, 2026. He described the results as a "kanonresultat" and expressed pride in the report. Rosengren stated that while the automotive, climate solutions, and packaging industries are not performing strongly, Gränges achieved 5 percent growth in the quarter primarily by gaining market share. He attributed this to the company's systematic, multi-year strategy of focusing on approximately 20 niche segments where it holds a competitive advantage, such as battery solutions and electric vehicles, rather than competing in larger, more contested markets. Regarding the company's financial targets, Rosengren confirmed that Gränges reaffirmed its goal of a 10–15 percent return on capital employed during its capital markets day in May. He noted that the return had increased to nearly 12 percent in the quarter and outlined a plan to reach 15 percent by better utilizing existing production capacity and halting new capacity investments until cash flow and returns improve, as well as by optimizing operations involving new customers, machinery, products, and employees.
