- The significant real growth is a result of the acquisitions we made at the end of 2010 and during 2011 while the organic growth is primarily the result of increased market shares as well as an improved pricing of our services in several important countries. The margin improvement is mainly due to a reduction of the non-performing branches, i.e. efficiency improvements, states Loomis' President and CEO, Lars Blecko.
