Quarter of a century of innovation , growth and customer satisfaction
Leading motor and drives manufacturer , WEG is celebrating the 25 year anniversary of its WEG Scandinavian branch . As one of 13 successful European WEG branches , the Scandinavian branch launched back in 1998 , and since then has celebrated a quarter of a century of successful innovation and growth .
The Scandinavian branch of WEG is well placed to serve a region with a high demand for electrical motors and other industrial equipment , making it an important part of the company ’ s global network .
Functioning as a distinct entity of WEG , WEG Scandinavia registered a phenomenal growth rate of 83.6 per cent in the sales of electrical motors in 2022 . This success marked it as the highest performing branch on a global scale .
The branch is subdivided into several divisions , with electrical motors standing as a key one . Looking ahead , WEG Scandinavia ’ s managing director , Anders Näzell , expressed his intent to concentrate on bolstering other Scandinavian divisions . Specifically , he highlighted the VFD division and the gears division as focal points for growth and development .
“ VFDs are now widely used in Scandinavia to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions ,” said Näzell . “ I am particularly proud to see a trend where world-leading manufacturers in their respective fields are starting to use our products . It serves as a testament to the exceptional quality and reliability of WEG Scandinavia ’ s offerings . Our Carbon Neutral Program aims to reduce greenhouse gas ( GHG ) emissions by 52 per cent by 2030 and achieve netzero emissions by 2050 . WEG Scandinavia is already on track to achieve a reduction in CO2 emissions of between 50-60 per cent in the next couple of years . One of WEG ’ s main focuses is on sustainability and we want to be a leader in this field .”
In a bid to bolster future growth , WEG Scandinavia has also significantly invested in both its internal and external sales departments , bringing on board an expanded team of qualified engineers and seasoned professionals . This expansion includes the addition of three new senior hires , which is expected to enhance operational efficiency and support the managerial team in their efforts to steer their divisions to new heights .
As WEG Scandinavia celebrates its 25 year anniversary , the company is continuing to grow and expand . New sales offices are set to open in Kolding , Denmark , in July 2023 , with plans for a similarly-equipped facility in Oslo , Norway , on the horizon .
