HANZA Acquires Property in Sweden for Continued Expansion
June 26, 2023 | HANZAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
HANZA buys a property in Töcksfors with an adjacent plot, which enables the expansion of the company's manufacturing cluster in Sweden.
The decision to purchase the property in Töcksfors follows HANZA's strategy of modular expansion on an existing site, which creates a significant increase in capacity at a limited cost. The property is part of HANZA's manufacturing cluster in Sweden and amounts to just over 11,000 square meters with approximately 28,000 square meters of land.
The acquisition is in line with our strategy HANZA 2025, says Erik Stenfors, CEO. By preparing expansion in geographical areas where we are established, with all infrastructure in place, we can increase customer value and continue our rapid growth.
The acquisition is financed through bank loans and own funds. By owning the property, instead of renting, the cost of premises will be reduced.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
12/05/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It’s been another big week in global business news with positive projections on global economic growth, primarily driven by AI. U.S. labor markets are showing some strain after copious layoff activity, and there’s possibly a slight “correction” in the stock market, with investors apparently concerned about corporate overvaluation. My must-reads are interesting, informative, and important for industry members, particularly in the U.S. These selections range from onshoring high-tech thermal control to the value of training, recognizing interconnect defects, and an important statement from the Global Electronics Association regarding the USMCA.
The Power of Onshoring High-tech Thermal Control
12/02/2025 | Brian Buyea, RemtecIn advanced electronics, thermal management has become the silent determinant of performance. As devices shrink and power densities soar, how we handle heat defines not only the reliability of a system but also the pace of innovation itself. High-tech thermal control is no longer a supporting role, but a core enabler of modern technology, encompassing power modules and RF devices, as well as electric vehicles and medical systems.
Learning With Leo: What Is the Cost of Quality Brought About by Training?
12/03/2025 | Leo Lambert -- Column: Learning With LeoIn electronics manufacturing, conversations about training often revolve around one narrow question: What does it cost? Training requires time, materials, instructor fees, and occasionally travel. Under tight budget constraints, it is understandable that organizations scrutinize these expenses. However, this perspective misses a far more important and financially meaningful point: What is the cost of quality brought about by training? Framed differently: What does it cost when training does not occur?
Fresh PCB Concepts: Quick-turn Prototype PCB Fabrication to Production Volume
11/20/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsFor a PCB engineer, the path from prototype to production is a careful balance of speed, precision, and foresight. Quick-turn prototype fabrication focuses on speed and design validation, while production builds demand repeatability, cost control, and quality assurance at scale.
Mexico's Moment in Electronics Manufacturing
11/12/2025 | Lorena Villanueva, Global Electronics Association MexicoOn a weekday morning in the Bajío, Mexico, a training lab reviews accept/reject criteria before a line changeover. By mid-afternoon, a cross-border shipment clears in El Paso that left Ciudad Juárez at dawn. Farther south, a university team finalizes intake for a new electronics pathway blending online modules with factory practicums. These scenes—routine yet transformative—explain whyMexico is becoming the most strategic partner for the United States to ensure a resilient, innovative, and sovereign electronics supply chain in North America.
