2016 has been an eventful year, with Interal celebrating its 40th anniversary, with a focus on health and wellness and a nice trip to Stockholm for our staff.
We have invested in several new machines, including a multi-op machine for long length machining, a customised cutting machine and for our unit in China we have purchased a laser engraving machine and additional CNC machine. The factory in China continues to grow and serves as a good complement to our operations in Habo.
We have expanded our space here in Habo with both office, manufacturing and warehouse premises as our previous tenants have now moved out. This has, among other things, produced a larger, cleaner and brighter room for assembly, which is still being designed. As a result, we are now well equipped to continue to grow and this investment gives us increased opportunities to offer further processing to our customers, especially in assembly.
On the personnel side, Krister Andersson retired this summer and we thank him for his long and faithful service at Interal. Johan Westerberg has replaced Krister in the cutting department and has settled in well. Martin Bååth ended his employment in technology/preparation just over a month ago and this position is now taken over by Robert Grubesic, who has been production manager for several years and is also a partner in Interal. Johan Mattson has been recruited to the position of Production Manager and will start his employment at Interal in February.
We are now looking forward to an eventful and successful 2017. All the best to our customers, suppliers and staff!
