As Siemens Energy makes a 1 billion SEK investment in Finspång and aims to double its production capacity, new demands are being placed on the entire supply chain. At the same time, demand is increasing from several customers within power generation. For Elektromontage, this means continued expansion to meet these needs.
On Monday, March 23, the groundbreaking ceremony took place for Siemens Energy’s major investment in Finspång, with the goal of doubling production capacity. Among those present were Siemens Energy CEO Gunnar Wik, Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Benjamin Dousa, County Governor Gunilla Svantorp, and Elektromontage CEO Roberth Karlsson.
“The fact that Siemens Energy is doubling its production capacity means that Elektromontage also needs to increase its capacity to meet demand. It’s not just Siemens - several of our customers in power generation are expanding at the same time.”
During the day, discussions focused on future energy sources, long-term industrial investments, energy technology, collaboration within the energy system, and challenges related to skills supply, capacity, space and forecasting.
“For us, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of what our customers expect going forward in order to ensure reliable delivery.”
Global trends driving growth
Over the past four years, Elektromontage has increased its capacity by 100 percent. The plan is to grow by the same amount again over the next four years in order to meet rising demand.
“The development is driven by a global trend where electrification is increasing demand. The expansion of data centers - particularly in the U.S. - is a key factor. At the same time, changes in the energy market following the war in Ukraine have increased the need for gas turbines to secure energy supply.”
Concrete investments to meet demand
To meet demand, Elektromontage has established a new unit in Västerås, expanded its production space in Söderköping, and plans to fully utilize its newly built facility.
“This year alone, we have already achieved 35 percent growth.”
The company is currently adapting its operations step by step, with new investments and expanded resources to manage the ongoing changes.
