It is now clear that Bj\u00f6rn Furu will take over as the new CEO of NOTE Oslo AS.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Bj\u00f6rn Furu has broad and long experience in production, mainly from the electronics and EMS industry. Most recently he comes from the Norwegian company Sn\u00f8hetta Modular, where he worked as COO. Prior to that, he worked for Kitron ASA as Corporate Vice President for EMS services. Furu has also assisted Siemens A\/S, Sonec ASA and Elektronikkfabrikken in Oslo with production, logistics and IT issues. <\/p>\n

NOTE Oslo, formerly Nordic-PrintDesign AS, was acquired by the NOTE group on 1 July this year, and offers cutting-edge competence in PCB design. This acquisition was an important step in NOTE's drive to increase its market share in Norway. The acquisition is fully in line with NOTE's NearcourcingTM strategy, which is to offer a high level of service close to the customer, both geographically and as a partner. The acquisition also includes a component database, NOTEfied, which links customers' product development with NOTE's strategic sourcing and prototyping. This helps to dramatically reduce time-to-market. <\/p>\n

\u201dBj\u00f6rn Furu's solid experience of the Norwegian EMS market, together with our dynamic component database, will have a major impact on the market. We can now help customers throughout the value chain. The appointment of Bj\u00f6rn Furu as our new CEO is crucial for our future success as he specialises in processes and logistics, which will be a great advantage for our business\u201d comments Anders G. Johansen, Technical Sales Manager at NOTE Oslo.<\/p>\n

Arne Forslund, CEO of NOTE AB, continues: \u201dBj\u00f6rn Furu has the experience and capacity required to lead NOTE's expansion on the Norwegian market. NOTE Oslo will offer our customers the service they demand locally. With our new factory premises in Bryn, Oslo, we can serve customers locally in the Oslo area as one of the leading local electronics manufacturers. This gives us a highly competitive offering that benefits customers, including shorter time-to-market and smooth transfer of production to more cost-efficient regions.\u201d.<\/p>\n
