Continued Expansion of NOTE in Sweden
December 2, 2022 | NOTEEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
NOTE meets an increased demand from its customers and continues to grow. In Sweden, which is NOTE’s largest domestic market, NOTE has now signed an agreement to expand the plant in Norrtälje. Along with other investments, both for increased capacity and efficiency improvements of the production area, the total production area in the plant in Norrtälje increases by approximately 1,100 m2. The decision is a continuation of NOTE’s expansion plan where NOTE expanded the plant in Torsby during the previous year, which increased the production area in the plant by approximately 2,200 m2. In addition, NOTE completed the acquisition of the plant in Herrljunga in July this year, which added a production area of 4,000 m2.
“It is satisfying to see the increasing demand at our plants and given our strong growth, we are constantly working to ensure additional production capacity where needed. Sweden is NOTE’s largest market and during the year we have seen a growth there of 35% excluding acquisitions. The continued expansion of the plant in Norrtälje comes from expanded collaborations with existing customers as well as collaborations with new customers”, says Johannes Lind-Widestam, CEO and President.

It’s Only Common Sense: Great Leaders Lead From the Front
11/24/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseThere’s an old military saying: “A title doesn’t make you a leader, visibility does.” You can have the corner office, the fancy title, and your name on the building, but none of it matters if your people rarely see you. Leadership is about showing up, standing with your team, and proving every day that you’re in this with them.

Standard of Excellence: Handling Difficult Customers With Grace and Professionalism
11/19/2025 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceDelivering a quality product on time is only half the battle. The other half, often as critical, is how we handle the human side of business, especially when things don’t go as planned. In a world of tight deadlines, complex builds, and high customer expectations, things will go off track. How we respond to them defines our reputation.
It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Pretending Your Customers Are Loyal
11/17/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseStop thinking your customers will always remain loyal. They won’t. They’re only loyal until the next late delivery, missed deadline, or quality failure. Loyalty in business is as fragile as glass and will shatter just as quickly if you’re careless.
It’s Only Common Sense: Excuses Don’t Pay Invoices
11/10/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseI’ve been in this industry long enough to hear just about every excuse salespeople make to explain why they cannot do their job: tariffs, supply chain snarls, material shortages, labor walkouts, and late trucks. The list is endless. What do all these have in common? Not a single one has ever put a dime in the bank, because excuses don’t pay invoices.
