“2015 is yet another successful year for us at HiQ, and that makes us happy and
proud. We have a record in net sales for the full year, of SEK 1,508.0 million,
and we increase profits with 24 per cent to SEK 183 million. We are winning new
clients, framework agreements and exciting assignments, and the solutions we
develop together with our clients are creating value for us as people,” says
Lars Stugemo, President and CEO of HiQ.

The digitalisation of society continues at a fast pace. In a time when
innovation is increasingly born in the combination of people’s needs, user
behaviour, and the possibilities of technology, HiQ masters all aspects –
technology, people, and business. Since the start in 1995, HiQ’s driving force
has been to simplify people’s lives, and the company wins many major clients and
assignments during 2015 – for example, framework agreements are signed with the
central purchasing authorities in both Finland and Sweden: Hansel and
Kammarkollegiet. HiQ is also chosen as strategic web and mobile partner to
Mölnlycke Health Care and continues to develop innovative concepts within the
automotive industry.

“These are just a few examples of everything that’s going on. Thanks to our
range we work at all levels within our clients’ organisations. We cover both the
tech-heavy and the parts that concern concept, design and marketing, always with
simplicity and business in mind. Our position and offer is more relevant than
ever,” Lars Stugemo continues.

”With 1,400 great employees we will continue creating results together with our
clients, while contributing to a better and more joyful world. It’s needed,”
Stugemo concludes.
