Production Technology

The business area sells production equipment, consumable materials, service and process training to the electronics 
manufacturing industry in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Baltic countries and Poland.

Markets and customers
The customers are found in a wide range of industrial segments and include both OEM and contract manufacturers. Through Scanditron and its stencil divisions Holtek and Tavron, the business area is one of the leading players in the Nordic market. Scanditron also has a strong position in Poland.

One distinctive trend is that electronic manufacturers are placing increasingly stringent demands on the performance and flexibility of their production equipment, which must allow fast tool changes without compromising product quality. Behind this trend lies a more general shift to “lean production” in the industry, which is working continuously to maximise machine capacity utilisation and eliminate everything not deemed essential to the processes in order to meet competition primarily from Asian electronics manufacturers. The growing complexity of the equipment has also generated an increased need for service, support and training.
