The company has hired Mathilda Andersson as new Purchasing and Order Manager. She started her position in early October 2019. “I’m delighted to have Mathilda on board! With her experience, qualifications and positive personality, she fits perfectly for this position”, says CEO Magnus Larsson.

Mathilda was born and raised in Mjölby, Sweden. She attended a Technical Gymnasium specialized in production and automation technology. After her studies, she worked as production technician at Toyota Material Handling Manufacturing Sweden, in Mjölby. Her most recent position was at Akla, in Askersund, where she also worked with production.

What made you accept the position?

–Hagaberg is an interesting company in an exciting phase. I have good experience in production and want to evolve in new areas. I see great opportunities to do this at Hagaberg.

How do you see your new role?

-I look forward to the daily contact with both customers and suppliers and I will greatly benefit from my production and processing experience from my previous positions. It also feels great to be part of a company where so many things happen right now!

The company has appointed Martin Fransson as new Production Manager starting in September 2019. He has previously been Purchasing/Order Manager at the company and looks forward to this new role with great enthusiasm. “I’m very pleased that we have been able to do an internal recruitment and that Martin has taken the challenge” says CEO Magnus Larsson.

Martin was born and raised in Örebro. He is trained in Mechanical Engineering specialized in Industrial Economics at the University of Örebro. After the studies Martin played a season with Djurgården in the Swedish Futsal League. But when the position as Purchasing/Order Manager at Hagabergs Mekaniska became vacant, he decided to prioritize his professional career and joined the company in January 2018.

What made you accept the postition as Production Manager?

– Hagabergs is currently in an exciting phase. Earlier this year our owners acquired the company Bodins Maskin AB. This means that we, as a group, can offer our customers a wider range of products. As a result, there will be new challenges in our production plant. This also means a challenge for me personally and will give me an immediate experience of change management.

What challenges do you see?

– I do see challenges and they inspire me, but above all I see opportunities! The opportunity to streamline the production processes, but also the challenge of motivating and involving the staff in the change process.

How do you view the development of the production department?  

– There’s a lot of exciting projects “in the pipe”. As a company and group, we are already one of the leading manufacturers of fork positioners in the Nordic region. However, the ambition of the company is to continue to grow, on the domestic market in the Nordic-Baltic countries, as well as across Europe. This will imply higher demands on the staff in terms of increased production capacity, more models and completely new products, Martin concludes.
