Flexiteek Opens New Headquarters in Sweden
After more than 23 years in their original production facility, Flexiteek International AB has moved to a brand new state-of-the-art headquarters in Fagersta, Sweden.
This exciting move represents a significant investment by Flexiteek AB and its owners, Watrium, in response to growing global product demand whilst also supporting Flexiteek manufacturing hubs in the UK and Poland.
A New Era of Efficiency and Sustainability
The new location was designed with energy efficiency in mind. For example, a new energy-efficient product warming room to improve the preparation process for producing new decks. In addition, there is a ground source heat pump system with six ground boreholes of approximately 200m in depth that produce heat, and energy is created from the rooftop solar panel array all helping to make the building Flexiteek’s most energy efficient.
“We are very excited to be moving to our new home in Fagersta. The new building is incredibly energy efficient and will help us to meet our sustainability obligations. It will also help to improve our productivity to account for increased demand for our products.”
Tomas Gustafsson, CEO of Flexiteek
Supporting Local Community and Teams
This relocation brings significant investment and opportunities to the local community, supporting local jobs whilst also contributing to the area’s economic growth. The new building includes a large-scale warehouse and new team offices. This reflects Flexiteek’s commitment to growth and expansion as well as increased capacity.
An important consideration for the new location has been the inclusion of excellent team facilities. The building spans 1,400m² with 150 m² of offices and conference rooms. The location also includes a modern team room, in addition to changing facilities with showers, and even a sauna, underscoring the company’s commitment to employee wellbeing.
The Grand Opening of the Headquarters
The new building was officially opened on Wednesday, June 5th. An exclusive event, attended by leading businesspeople from the local area, marked the occasion. Moreover, this opening officially highlighted the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Flexiteek International AB.
With this move, Flexiteek not only enhances its production capabilities but also reinforces its commitment to sustainability, community support, and employee wellbeing. The new state-of-the-art headquarters in Fagersta is set to play a crucial role in the company’s future growth and success.
