Mechatronics
Mechatronics offers mainly electrically related products and systems to customers in manufacturing industry, energy generation and electricity distribution. The offer includes proprietary products in the form of electrical connection systems, electric installation material, customised cabling and distribution of mechanical and electro-mechanical products. Geographically, the bulk of sales are in the Nordic Region, but a growing proportion is being exported to countries outside the Nordic Region. The division has operations in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Germany and China.
The products developed in-house are characterised by high quality, reliability and a long useful life. They are also designed for safe and efficient handling during installation, which makes for a key customer benefit.
Customised cabling is developed in consultation with the customer in order to produce a product that is optimised for the customer’s application, demands for high quality and prompt delivery. The product is manufactured locally based on the customer’s forecasts, often from the prototype phase, on to ongoing production and subsequently for a possible after-market. A high degree of flexibility, logistics and proximity to the customer are some of the added values offered by the units.
The value-adding distribution in Mechatronics includes products from leading manufacturers. The companies in the division work closely to their customers to offer customer-specific products, offer technical advice, good logistics and high accessibility.
MARKET AND CUSTOMERS
Mechatronics has most of its customers in the Nordic manufacturing industry, especially in power generation, automation, and track-bound and heavy vehicles. Other customers include electricity grid owners as well as wholesalers and distributors in construction and electrical installation. A major portion of the division’s sales are exports. The division has a market-leading position in electric connection systems in the Nordic power grid market and is an important supplier of wiring harness for large industrial companies.
