Aftermarket meeting!

We have had meetings and discussion with After Sales from Norrköping for two days. The aim is to keep our customers best interest in focus and several ideas and suggestions have been up on the table. It has also been a good opportunity to prepare Charlie, Kent and Johan for the new products that are in pipeline for this and next year. Thank you guys for your interest and your dedicated work to keep our customers satisfied.

In need of cranes to faraway places?

To send separate cranes and several of them all around the world is not a problem for us here at Fors MW. We are experts in tight loads as you can see of the pictures at the same time as we keep the finish intact. So when you feel like ordering a bunch of cranes to be shipped near or far we are the one to turn to!

 

Meet a BIGAB user!

Jörgens Bonnaservice in Kristianstad, Sweden started in 2005 by Jörgen Andersson. Jörgen worked on a farm with various chores, but in time he started to perform a range of services to other clients in his spare time. The company has grown a lot over the years. It all started with a little chainsaw but as the fleet has grown the business has expanded. Today, Jörgen takes care of everything from gardening, tree feeling, stump grinding, snow removal, welding to transport. Jörgen has a BIGAB 17 – 20 which he uses frequently. It is worth its weight in gold in his company says Jörgen. BIGAB is a flexible trailer that he uses for most of the work. This is yet another impressive entrepreneur who managed to create successful business. We here at Fors MW are happy Jörgen choose to use BIGAB in his daily work.

New person in charge, China

Fors MW has its head quarter in Estonia but also to subsidiaries, one in Sweden and one in China. Fors MW sources a lot of details from China and that demands that we have control over the details and the shipping. At place in China we have three persons employed. The latest member of the Fors MW family is Michael. Michael will be in charge of our China office in Shanghai. We thought that it would be nice for you all to meet Michael in his own words.

Hello

This is Michael, I am 38 years old. I have been working for more than ten years in the function of quality control and sourcing in different machinery industry including compressors, air conditioners, pumps, cranes and airport ground support vehicles, mainly dealing with castings, welding, machining parts and the assemblies.

I have a BS degree in casting engineering from Shenyang Polytech University and a MS degree in applied chemistry from Shanghai University. I am now living in the Shanghai city, my wife works as well. We have a daughter now in the second year of the primary school. In my spare time I enjoy sporting in sports such as running, tennis, badminton, and of course ping pang. I prefer to have a simple life, so I don't smoke and I drink a little. As it is said "simple is best".

I am looking forward to working with the Fors MW crew to make the business most successful, thank you!

Michael

For a cleaner future!

Fors MW has for many years worked to improve both the working environment but also external environment factors that one are able to influence. We have implemented a number of energy saving measures and invested heavily in projects such as for example going over to heat up the factory on wood chip instead of oil. A measure that proved to be not only environmentally friendly, energy-saving but at the same time cost- saving. It takes a lot of oil and nowadays wood chips to heat a plant of our size. Being able to carry out projects to improve our environment, at the same time as saving money, is a winning combination. We have over the years recycled our material from the production, according to the laws and regulations in this area, but last winter, we took a step further and structured it in a number of recycling areas around the factory. It has proven to simplify the process and save time which we all know is the same as saving money…

A development by Oswald, Germany

A few days ago I received these pictures from our German dealer Peter Oswald. It is one of his latest FARMA developments and a great one.  This cargo handling forest “container” is made to be able to load less of material but material such as wood for stoves, brash, stone, hay bales and such. Many times when transporting brash you build up quite bushy load that this construction prevents. We thank Oswald for the nice pictures and who knows, this might be an option for Fors MW to look into during autumn.

A new Construction exhibition in Sweden

Over the years, we have repeatedly at our fairs received interest from our visitors that there should be a special exhibition in the southern regions of Sweden. This year, so be it. For the first time the construction exhibition by the name “EntreprenadExpo” will take place at Ring Knutstorp in the northern parts of the region Skåne on the 20 – 22 September. For three days the fair will be full of market leading exhibitors which we believe will lead to many visitors. Fors MW will be a place with several products from our price worthy product range. We will most certainly show one of the currently best selling BIGAB combinations to contractors, a BIGAB 10 – 14 with Z crane 6.6.
Passing by – pay us a visit!

Much will happen in the future both on the news front, which really will be reflected in our marketing but also at place in Estonia. It is here at the blog that you will be able to follow this autumn´s cool trip. We update the blog regularly with a variety of topics. All so that our customers will be able to follow our journey and feel a part of us. We are a company that has gone from a small one to a large company. We are growing fast, but our ambition is to never be further away than you can reach us. Our openness through blogs and news is a part of that.
