NOTE opens Centre of Excellence
- "Today, we're opening a Centre of Excellence for opto/telecom at our factory on the Nordrona campus in Norrtälje. A number of production experts from various electronics segments, including a professor and PhD in opto/telecom, are at our customers' disposal here," says Erik Stenfors, CEO of the NOTE group. Institutions such as Stockholm University and Karolinska Institutet are also represented on the campus, which contributed to NOTE starting up here. Later this year, NOTE will also open Centres of Excellence at NOTE Torsby (vehical/industry) and NOTE Xperi in Lund (medical).
Strengthening competitiveness
- NOTE Centre of Excellence is an important part of our NOTE Excellence competence package, launched earlier this year when we opened NOTE Lab in Norrtälje, Torsby, Lund, Kista and Götborg. NOTE Excellence enables lower product costs, and is part of our proprietary analysis and refeeding system, NOTE QS, which provides a smoother production process. The expertise available at the NOTE Centre of Excellence will help our customers stay ahead of their competitors," continues Erik Stenfors.
