HMS NETWORKS SHARED THE SECRETS OF EXPORT SUCCESS WITH THE KING AND QUEEN OF SWEDEN
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Since HMS received the Swedish Trade Council's Grand Export Award from H.M. King
Carl XVI Gustaf four years ago, the company has increased sales by 45% and
employed more than 100 people, in spite of financial crises and stagnating
economies. This was explained to the King and Queen during their visit to HMS's
head office in Halmstad, Tuesday 4 September.
During the visit, the King and Queen listened to a presentation of the company
and met with staff in the highly automated production facility in Halmstad. The
180 employees gathered for a summary of the company's development since
receiving the Grand Export Award, 18 May 2008.
HMS's management team, headed by CEO Staffan Dahlström, has invested vigorously
in several export markets since 2008. The number of employees has increased from
150 to 250, most of them in Halmstad, Sweden. The international sales offices
have been expanded, predominantly in Germany, USA, Japan and China, and new
offices have started up in the U.K., Denmark and India.
During 2008, HMS reached one million installations at production facilities
around the world. Less than four years later, the company installed its two-
millionth module. The module in question was installed at one of HMS's first
customers, Atlas Copco Tools, world-leader in industrial nutrunners used to
increase efficiency at car manufacturing plants all over the world.
"The King and Queen were very interested in the reasons behind HMS's success and
it was a great honor for our staff to show our head office in Halmstad," says
Nicolas Hassbjer, founder and Vice Chairman of the Board.
The visit was concluded by Urban Jansson, Chairman of the Board, who spoke about
the importance of entrepreneurship and thanked the King and Queen for visiting
HMS.
