A positive outlook for 2021

Swedish wire machinery manufacturer Lämneå Bruk started the year with an overall positive outlook. After a drop in sales in May and June last year, the company is back on its feet with a stable amount of orders during the last months of 2020. “We are currently in a comfortable position despite the pandemic, and everyone in the company is working hard to keep it like that,” said company president Jonas Hagstedt. “It was definitely a very tough year, but we have adapted our work processes quickly, offered increased online customer support, [and] could improve our production and delivery times; that is why I am confident that we can get out of this crisis even stronger.” The company says that its versatile No Twist Coiler (NTC) was a particular success factor in the second half of 2020. The NTC combines high wire coiling qualities with speeds up to

40m/second. The machine is suitable for different solid and flux core wire types and can be used in the production of spring wire. Depending on the requirements, the NTC can be used with a range of differ - ently sized and shaped drums, adding to the flexibility and customisability of the machine. Lämneå Bruk AB www.lamnea.se
