News from the Group

Sandvik has decided to close the site in Turku, Finland and optimize the site in Tampere, Finland. This is in line with the previously communicated announcement on 26 March 2015 that consultations were going to be initiated.

In view of the fact that Anders Nyrén has informed Sandvik’s Nomination Committee that he is not available for re-election as Chairman of the Board of Sandvik, the Nomination Committee has revised the proposal for Board of Directors for the 2015 Annual General Meeting, which was previously communicated.

No one knows Sandvik better than the employees of our company. By passing the pen to our Sandvik colleagues around the world and letting them write about their daily work, we can give people a sneak peek into our world.

Sandvik is considering the closure of its site in Turku, Finland and optimize its site in Tampere, Finland. This is in line with the previously communicated supply chain optimization program.

As initially communicated in 2013, Sandvik's supply chain is to be optimized, reducing the number of production units from 150 to about 125 over three to four years.

With her new role as Vice President Strategy and Communication for Sandvik Materials Technology, Lena Berg's ambition is to ensure that the strategic direction makes sense to all 7 000 colleagues around the world and that all operations are executed in line with this direction.
