The key stakeholders in AMEXCI, including FAM, Saab, Scania, and Ericsson, leading the investment. Håkan Buskhe CEO of FAM, shared, “FAM are great supporters of AMEXCI’s expansion. We think it’s a good next step for the company and believe it will create value for the whole industry. We hope that AMEXCI will be able to support companies to take the next step in their production, allowing for the next generation of great products. We are glad to be part of this journey and think its relevant to build competence and capacity within the area of AM in Sweden.”
Micael Johansson, CEO of Saab Group, added, “Additive Manufacturing is of strategic importance for Saab and the number of applications in our product portfolio constantly grows. We see the AMEXCI expansion as a way to support our growth and to enable technology to increase our competitiveness.” Saab serves the global market of governments, authorities and corporations with products, services and solutions ranging from military defence to civil security.
The expanded capabilities of AMEXCI aim to equip the company to act as an enabler for future innovations, “Expanding our AM capacity with AMEXCI is not just a strategic move, but a testament to our commitment to innovation and delivering superior products to our customers. The key to successfully embracing this transformative technology lies in the knowhow we have diligently built together. This expertise empowers us to push boundaries, drive progress, and shape the future of manufacturing,” Börje Ekholm, CEO of Ericsson commented.
Christian Levin, CEO of Scania and TRATON GROUP, shared his view on the investment, “Since the start of AMEXCI, the company has been important for us providing knowledge, training, and competence within the area of Additive Manufacturing. We believe these technologies will be even more important in the future, both as a possibility to manufacture parts with a complex design, a quick way to produce short series and contribute to our transformation towards the sustainable transport system.”
An important component of this expansion is the brand-new factory being built in the industrious region of Örebro, Sweden. This significant investment underscores Örebro’s standing as an industrial hub in Sweden, particularly for AM. The new factory will not only boost AMEXCI’s operational capabilities but also enable deepened research collaboration, opening up further engagement with Örebro University.
The Mayor of Örebro, John Johansson, “We are honoured to welcome AMEXCI and its expansion to Örebro. This investment not only strengthens our position as a premier industrial hub in Sweden but also propels the entire Additive Manufacturing industry forward. With the establishment of their state-of-the-art factory and collaboration with Örebro University, AMEXCI is poised to create the world’s best Additive Manufacturing experience and drive technological advancements. This strategic growth plan demonstrates their commitment to our region, and we look forward to a prosperous future together”.
