Another good year for Jotun

Jotun recorded NOK 22 809 million in revenue in 2021, an 8 per cent increase from the year before. Operating profit for the year came in at NOK 3 138 million, the second highest in the company’s history.

Solid progress, but uncertain outlook

Jotun achieved record high revenues in the first eight months of 2021. Operating profit was NOK 2 496 million, but high raw material prices put pressure on the operating margin.
