Sandvik as an investment

We continue to thrive on our productivity and sustainability offering based on more than 150 years of leading materials and applications know-how.

To remain relevant also in the future we increasingly combine our core competencies with new digital technologies, enabling us to broaden the customer offering. Our strong balance sheet supports both organic and acquisitive growth.

Our world is cyclical, and we believe that our decentralized business model increases agility and speed in our operative decision making, helping us reduce earnings volatility and increase predictability.

We target higher margin, resulting in improved through-cycle performance going forward.

Stefan Widing, President and CEO:

"In Sandvik, we have close to 25 operational management teams working close to our customers. Each team is responsible for developing the business and continuously improve its performance. We are committed to achieving improved through-cycle performance."
