NOTE invests heavily in new factory
”We're now creating the external conditions to become a complete world-class EMS partner. Together with our internal rationalisation work, mainly in production and sourcing, and our focus on NPI services, i.e. services when new products are introduced, we are creating an even more competitive NOTE,” says Arne Forslund, President and CEO of NOTE.
NOTE Norrtelje's new plant will be built up into a concept factory where all the services the group has to offer are gathered under one roof, including training programmes in the NOTE Academy. Thanks to our cutting-edge competence in high-tech production, we can offer the manufacture of technologically advanced products, including to telecom and industrial customers. NOTE Lab, which works on development and rapid prototyping close to the customer, will play a prominent role-according to customer needs. The plants in the Baltics and Poland, to which a large proportion of high-volume production is transferred once prototyping and testing is complete, will continue to complement the new plant in Norrtälje.
”This is an important step in enabling NOTE Norrtelje to be competitive on its home market going forward. We are in great need of production-adapted premises, and will now be one of Europe's most modern and cost-efficient electronics plants,” says Patrik Kvarnlöf, CEO of NOTE Norrtelje.
”Our flexible business model combines knowledge-intensive services close to the customer - what we at NOTE call NearsourcingTM - with seamless transfer of volume production to NOTE's international plants, which is efficient for the customer. We help reduce time-to-market and offer customers low total cost of ownership. We are now strongly equipped for the future,’ concludes Arne Forslund.
