NOTE AB has now acquired Nordic-PrintDesign AS, and thus establishes a presence in Norway. The company will become NOTE Oslo AS and will develop into a complete, world-class production unit for rapid prototyping.<\/strong><\/div>\n

Nordic-PrintDesign AS offers PCB design know-how and currently has 8 employees at offices in Oslo and Stockholm. This acquisition marks the first step in NOTE's initiative to increase its market share in Norway. <\/p>\n

This acquisition is entirely consistent with NOTE's strategy and concept Nearsourcing\uf0d4, offering customers high service levels by being close to the customer geographically and as a collaborative partner. Services offered close to the customer include PCB layout, fast prototype production including specialist feedback on product design, project management, seamless transfer and co-ordination of production in NOTE's more cost-efficient units in the Baltic region and Poland. <\/p>\n

The acquisition also includes a component database to be linked to NOTE's component management system. The database interconnects customer product development with NOTE's prototype production and strategic procurement. As a result, products reach the market faster, thus reducing time-to-market. <\/p>\n

Anders G Johansen, Technical Sales Manager of Nordic-PrintDesign AS, commented: \"Our component database will now have far greater impact by this connection with NOTE's systems and in-depth production know-how. Our customers will really value the access they get to the possibilities NOTE offers.\" <\/p>\n

Arne Forslund, CEO of NOTE AB continues: \"It's very exciting that NOTE is starting up on the Norwegian market, considering the growth potential there. We will be building up a new production facility with the aid of lean production to ensure that NOTE Oslo becomes an efficient production unit for fast prototypes. For a fairly modest investment and low risk, we now have very good prospects of achieving even higher organic growth.\" <\/p>\n
