This is providing a focused organisation with clear targets to be as efficient as possible. Competence is utilized where it is and new won knowledge is spread among the team.
The group’s overall capacity is growing, as former boundaries between competitors is now turned into a resource-pool of machinery, equipment and knowledge, used for creating more value for our customers.
We are also proud of our new common R&D department, where we now will have very experienced resources available for customer projects. This will provide excellent support for our customers and bring us closer to becoming a complete solution provider.
BEFORM is satisfied with the start of 2022 both in terms of integrating different company cultures but also joint R&D activities and deliveries are running smoothly.
Available capacity is more than 70 injection moulding machines in the range of 20 T to 1300 T clamping force. We have also entered a 3-year investment program, that will provide a new range of machines with state-of-the-art efficiency and production control. This will provide an increased production capacity and a reduced CO2 footprint going forward.
