A new step for Axelent toward efficiency and sustainability

This year, Axelent has taken an important step toward increased production capacity and sustainability with the installation of a new coating line. As our largest investment to date, this facility enables us to handle more of our coating process in-house, reduce transportation needs, and further improve our environmental performance.

Built for growth and flexibility

The new coating line is a long-term investment that supports Axelent’s growth and increases our production capacity. By bringing more of the coating process in-house, we have greater control over workflows and the flexibility to paint two colors simultaneously, allowing us to meet customer needs faster while maintaining high quality.

A focus on sustainability

Sustainability has been a guiding factor in this project. By reducing internal transport to and from our subcontractor, we expect to halve our transportation volumes, cutting down CO2 emissions and making our production more efficient.

The facility is also designed to be as energy efficient as possible. Powered by renewable energy from our solar panel installation and equipped with advanced heat recovery systems, it minimizes energy waste. Heat from the ovens is recycled through a geothermal system. These measures align with Axelent’s ongoing commitment to minimize our footprint while supporting a sustainable value chain.

"This is the largest single investment in Axelent’s history. It secures the capacity we need for the future while prioritizing energy efficiency and sustainability."

says Fredric Forsell, COO.

Benefits for our customers

For our customers, the new coating line means improved flexibility, better lead times, and the confidence of working with a supplier that prioritizes sustainability. By optimizing our logistics and energy use, we continue to ensure reliable delivery and high-quality solutions while reducing our environmental impact.
