Atlas Copco claimed its second quarter financial report for 2013 showed "healthy demand for service and industrial equipment", despite declines in order intake, revenue and profit.

The Swedish-based manufacturer saw order intake drop to SEK21.1 billion (€2.44 billion), alongside a revenue drop of 2% to SEK21.8 billion (€2.52 billion).

Operating profit also dropped 10% to SEK4.5 billion (€520 million), from SEK5 billion (€580 million) in the same period in 2012.

However, the company did see improvement in its operating margin, now at 20.8% compared to 21.5% for the second quarter of 2012.

Looking ahead, the company said that overall demand for the group’s products and services is expected to remain at the current level.
