Sweden-based tiltrotator and attachment manufacturer Engcon has invested SEK8.5m (€0.83m) in expanding its head office at Strömsund.
The company says it has invested significantly in a brand-new office building, covering an area of over 400m2, spread over two floors. The new building connects with the existing production facilities located at the Swedish head office in Strömsund.
Engcon says the investment is part of a long-term strategy to create the right conditions for continued expansion.
Over a year ago, the manufacturer inaugurated its fully automated plant in Strömsund for the processing and hardening of frames for its main product, tiltrotators for excavators.
“The heart of Engcon is Strömsund and will continue to be so,” said Krister Blomgren, CEO of Engcon Group. “Our international expansion has increased the need for more office space and to meet our continued growth, so now we have expanded.”
Engcon was founded 30 years ago by Stig Engström in Strömsund, Jämtland. In the early 2000s, the company began its international expansion and has now developed into an international group.
Engcon now has established sales companies in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, the UK, Benelux, France, Germany, North America, Australia, Korea and Japan, plus a factory in Poland. The Engcon Group’s head office and main production facilities are still located at the company’s main site in Strömsund. Engcon says that, because all financial and administrative services for the various Engcon companies are also located at the Engcon head office, it was necessary to expand the office space.
Blomgren added: “In the new premises, the Design and Construction departments will sit together. In this way, they are close to each other but also close to the production itself and the core of the business. As we have made this investment, we create even better conditions at work to be able to distribute the tiltrotator worldwide.”
