Managing Director with focus on technology and growth - Sandviks Metall AB
Description:
1943 – that's when the company was founded in the shed on the Sandvik farm in Kulltorp in Gnosjö municipality. Manufacturing consisted of producing lubrication nipples and later also electrical installation materials. Contract manufacturing has always existed as a complement and only in the late 1990s did we switch to being a specialized contract manufacturer in cutting machining. Today, the company is a state-of-the-art engineering company with the latest technology available in terms of production equipment and operational management. Sandviks specializes in CNC turning with a focus on long turning and multi-operation turning. Our customers are found in Nordic engineering industries in various sectors such as electronics, hydraulics and offshore. We currently have 14 employees with a turnover of approximately 30 MSEK. Since 2021, the company has been part of the Hyttbäcken Invest Group (80%) for active and long-term ownership with a focus on development and growth.

A role in a company where you, together with the team, can really make a difference. Sandviks Metall is a Swedish contract shop with an established position as a supplier of precision parts to Swedish engineering industries, including Öhlins Racing as our largest customer. The company is now seeking a Managing Director who can combine a strong technical understanding with business development skills and who wants to take the company forward towards continued growth, improved profitability and a broader customer base. We specialize in CNC turning, long turning and advanced cutting machining. With a modern machine park, high technical expertise and long experience, we deliver precision parts to some of Swedish industry's most demanding customers. As Managing Director, you will have overall responsibility for operations and a key role in the company's continued development. The role combines business development, customer responsibility and leadership with a strong focus on production and technology. You are expected to understand the business's technical conditions, drive efficiencies and ensure that we continue to develop our competitiveness through smarter processes, high quality and good delivery precision. An important part of the assignment is to develop the business by broadening the customer base and creating new business opportunities, while you lead the organization with a present leadership style where you create commitment, clarity and confidence in the future. We offer an entrepreneurial environment and we will ensure that you receive an individually tailored introduction. As additional support, the current Managing Director, also a co-owner of the company, will remain in an advisory role as a member of the Board. This gives you a secure handover with access to deep operational and customer knowledge, while you have full mandate to drive the company's development. Through the Hyttbäcken Invest Group as the largest owner, you become part of a network of colleagues from the Group's companies where you can seek support and inspiration in several ways through exchange of experiences.

YOUR PROFILE We are looking for you who have experience from manufacturing industry and a genuine interest in production, technology and business. You don't necessarily need to be working as a Managing Director today – perhaps you work as a Production Manager, Technical Manager, Site Manager or in another management role and feel ready for the next step in your career. We view positively a post-secondary education in technology/industrial economics or similar. Experience from engineering industry, contract manufacturing or vehicle-related industry is a merit. You have an understanding of cutting machining, manufacturing technology and production development with a drive to improve processes, streamline operations and create profitable growth. With a present and inclusive leadership style, you create security while inspiring development and results.
