Geography
QleanAir’s business is concentrated in Europe, Japan and the United States, with product categories having different core markets in each region. The company also has exposure to foreign exchange movements, especially in JPY, EUR and USD, because a large share of sales and purchases are outside Sweden.
Risks
QleanAir is exposed to geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, especially through Europe, Japan and the broader global economy. Its business also depends on regulation around tobacco smoke, foreign exchange rates, credit quality and the ability to manage leased assets and subcontractors across markets.
