In August, our colleague Mr. Jan Hüssing, Head of Purchasing and Logistics, had the pleasure of attending Ovako’s Customer Day on August 29-30 in Smedjebacken, Sweden. Over sixty people and Scandinavian customers from more than 20 companies gathered for this remarkable event, which was filled with exciting news, inspiring presentations, and valuable networking opportunities.
The day began with a guided tour of Ovako’s Training Center in Smedjebacken. After lunch the event continued with a welcome speech from Jukka Kivelö, VP Head of Sales Nordics & Baltics, and presentations from Nicholas Källsäter, President of BU SmeBox, and Adam Hylen, VP Head of Sales & Marketing.
After a coffee break, participants delved into a compelling presentation on the sustainability path forward by Nicklas Magnusson, Decarbonization Manager. There was also an inspiring circular success story shared by HGF, followed by a fascinating talk from Kota Sakamoto from Nippon Steel, who shared his experiences from Japan to Sweden.
The day concluded with a joint dinner, where participants had the opportunity to continue networking and discussing the day’s impressions.
Ovako, a leader in CO2-neutral steel, plays a key role in reducing the carbon footprint of Bharat Forge’s products. It is essential for us to collaborate with suppliers who share a clear and sustainable roadmap toward decarbonization.
