Kalmar Q3 orders jump 22% to €458 million despite lower profit

Kalmar reported a 22% increase in orders received during the third quarter of 2026, reaching €458 million compared with €375 million a year earlier.

However, quarterly sales declined slightly to €433 million, from €436 million in the corresponding period last year.
