The primary goal is to grow profitably. This is achieved through long-term ownership and efficient governance in the Group companies. At the same time, we conduct responsible business through a sustainability agenda that contributes to a better world, creates business opportunities, reduces costs and minimizes risks.

Value creation. The Group companies all provide products and services that generate added value or offer greater substance for our customers – something for which they are also prepared to pay. By offering this type of value, we can charge more for the products and services we deliver, thereby boosting the Group’s profitability.

FOUR FOCUS AREAS

To achieve profitable growth, we focus on four strategic areas:

1.

High customer value.
Many of the Group companies’ products and services are adapted to meet specific customer needs. This increases customer value and supports a positive trend in terms of profitability.

2.

International market coverage.
Expanding and creating growth with customized niche products requires broad international sales.

3.

Strong market positions.
Quality products, customization and service create strong market positions, enabling the Group companies to compete on the basis of other forms of added value rather than price.

4.

Broad customer and supplier bases.
This breadth provides scope for action and reduces risk exposure and the Group’s dependency on individual markets, industries or companies.

We grow in two ways – by acquiring new companies and through organic growth in existing operations. Acquisitions strengthen the Group in selected markets or within specific technology and product areas, but can also add entirely new operations to Beijer Alma. At the same time, we grow organically through investments in production and market development in existing companies.

HABIA CABLE | SWEDEN

Leading lightweight cables

Habia Cable’s lightweight cables are used in various kinds of marine technology, including diesel engines for ferries. The cables weigh 30 percent less than the competing products. In smaller boats, this contributes to lower fuel consumption and maintaining speed performance. The products also have a smaller diameter and are more flexible, which saves space. The cables are built to withstand high temperatures, which doubles their lifespan compared with many other products.

LESJÖFORS | SINGAPORE

More medical technology

During the pandemic, demand for medical equipment – a focus area for Lesjöfors – has increased. For many years, John While Solutions in Singapore has produced specially developed wire forms for a customer that manufactures advanced medical equipment. In 2020, the company’s delivery volumes increased ten-fold. “Our products meet the stringent standards of the highly regulated area of medical equipment,” says Roy Loh, Vice President of Lesjöfors Spring Technology in Asia.

BEIJER TECH | SWEDEN

Digital hose labeling

It is now easier for customers to order hoses from Lundgrens. The company uses digital labeling, a process by which hoses are fitted with a label that has a QR code. This code provides information regarding the type of hose, length and where the hose is to be used. Any customer who wishes to place a new hose order can scan the QR code using a mobile phone and send the information to Lundgrens. This saves time and reduces the risk of disruptions. Lundgrens is the only company in Europe to offer this technology.
