BE Group (STO:BEGR), the Nordic region’s leading independent trading and service company in steel, stainless steel and aluminium, is extending its capacity in construction steel.
This is being achieved through the investment in a state-of-the-art production facility in Kungälv, Sweden.
“The new facility will be unique in Sweden and entirely in line with our strategy to advance BE Group on the value chain by increasing our production service offering,” says Torbjörn Clementz, CFO and Deputy CEO of BE Group. “Among other reasons, we are investing SEK 36 M in this facility to be able to meet the construction industry's increasing demand for steel frames for major projects and those requiring special expertise.”
In October 2010, BE Group acquired steel construction company Lecor Stålteknik AB in Kungälv, which employs 26 people and generated sales of SEK 146 M in its most recent year of operations. Customers include the Swedish Transport Administration and several companies in the construction and process industries.
瑞典业务区经理Stefan Eklund说：“很肯定，我们很快就可以使用预制的建筑钢铁公司获得全新的现代生产设施。”“瑞典非常需要通过增加自动化来开发更具成本效益的钢结构。Lecor在建筑，生产，项目管理和钢铁工程方面的专业知识与BE Group的采购和营销组织以及广泛的客户群结合在一起，以提供强有力的主张。我坚信我们的客户对此表示赞赏，我们希望能够在2011年招募十名新员工。”
新设施将在2011年第三季度进入运营。
