- Comment: Notable company well-covered in business news (a few English-language articles are already referenced in the article, but these are the hits from just one Swedish business magazine). --Hegvald (talk) 09:51, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment – The article does not have a promotional tone. It does not contain weasel words or adjectives and phrases saying how great the company is or extolling it's virtues. It's actually quite neutrally-worded, and presents an unbiased overview of the company. It would benefit from some copy editing to reduce the manner in which it reads as a news release in some areas.

- Comment – I have copy edited the article a bit to address the latter part of my comment above. North America1000 11:25, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
