Traditional FORS MW Christmas lunch

Yesterday we had a FORS MW Christmas lunch. It was a great afternoon with a great company and nice food. The whole company joined us for our annual Christmas lunch including overseas colleagues from Sweden, UK, Germany etc. Awards were giving out for outstanding work and achievements during 2015.  There were also nice speeches from our CEO, CFO, reclamation team and HR manager. 

It was a different year but we achieved a lot of great results!

Great front page article about us in the Profi magazine

Another interesting article about FORS MW has been published out. This time we had a visit from the Estonian Profi magazine. 

In the autumn issue there is a 5 pages long article about us and our production process with many nice photos included. Unfortunately, this great article about our story and factory is only in Estonian. 

We are glad that one of the most read magazine specialising in the agriculture is interested of doing front page stories about us. We welcome these kind of visits!

Automation in process

Time to introduce our new team!

Hi, my name is Irb, to be more precise ABB IRB 2400 and I’m a qualified welding robot. After a walkabout period in Sweden it is a pleasure to finally join Fors MW and I’m looking forward to our cooperation.  My personal aim for the next some of the years is efficiency in welding line and I’m sure that with my help the improvements coming fast.

As you know it takes two to tango, so it is my pleasure to introduce to you my man in FMW, my operator Madis. I like him, I really do. We both are new in company and soon as we started our cooperation it clicked. He’s smart, he’s taking care of me and we always have a dialog throw teach pendant. Right now he’s teaching me. I’m not sure either I’m a quick learner or he’s a damn good teacher, but it works just fine. I like him J

Working on a new website!

Here at Fors MW we have been working on a brand new website for nearly a year. Remaking a brand new page takes time. First all the sit-downs discussing pros and cones with the page up and running. Then searching the web for what to do and what not to do. Then starts the challenge of creating something that the field of business has not seen before. At this moment we are finally ready to dig into our new page. The structure is done from the web company. Now it is up to us to start with the fun part of filling it with information.

We hope to be able to launch the new page just before Christmas and we can already now promise something that you in terms of our business has not been seen before. We will be in touch!

FORS MW team building event at the kart track

Yesterday, we took our FORS MW administration team down to Laitse Rallypark for the greatest kart race ever.  Everyone had a great time and the competition was tough and thrilling. Our reclamation manager Kert won the competition, Svante from the purchases team was second and our IT support Erkki got the third spot.

For FORS MW it is very important to offer activities to our staff to appreciate our employees' great work. This is a great way to raise efficiency, productivity and to get motivation back at the workplace.

Our team building activity included staff from our Estonian office as well as our colleagues from Sweden and England. And it is great to hear that our great racing drivers are still talking about the highlights of the competition.

“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”
