"I have received an incredibly warm welcome," says Johan Nordgren. "I look forward to working with the teams in Ulricehamn, Jönköping and Bankeryd to further develop the Jobro Group. Our ambition is clear: to deliver availability, efficiency and speed to our customers, whether through tool and model making, sheet metal forming, processing, or assembly. The challenge is to remain both flexible and entrepreneurial while building more efficient structures and better resource utilization."
