About the Company
ELMAB develops and manufactures high-quality hydraulic cylinders and valve blocks in both customized and standardized models. The products are found in construction machinery, forestry equipment, and other industrial applications where quality, precision, and delivery reliability are critical.
Manufacturing takes place in modern machine shops with a high degree of automation. Together with well-educated and competent employees who prioritize teamwork, ideal conditions are created for both development and quality. Product quality, delivery, and service have been ELMAB's hallmark for many years – and the company continuously works to maintain and improve these standards.
The ELMAB Group is in a clear growth phase. Since 2023, the group has been part of Grönskärs Group, and during 2025, ELMAB acquired a majority stake in Melin & Carlsson Hydraulic AB, an established manufacturer of hydraulic cylinders with operations in Tranås and Borås. The acquisition strengthens the group's position and creates new opportunities for growth.
As the group expands, ELMAB is now seeking a procurement manager with strategic focus who wants to help develop a more coordinated, business-oriented, and forward-thinking procurement function. The role involves group-wide responsibility and can be based in Tranås or Dala-Järna, with presence at both locations.
Your Responsibilities
As a procurement manager with strategic focus, you will have a key role in coordinating and developing procurement work within ELMAB Group. Your mission is to create structure, coordinate working methods, and ensure that the group works with the right suppliers, right prices, right quality, and right delivery times.
You will have personnel responsibility for three procurement specialists – one employee in Dala-Järna and two employees in Tranås. The role requires mobile yet present leadership, where you create clarity, trust, and direction even when the team is located in different places. An important part will be getting the companies to work more closely together and create common routines, priorities, and follow-up within procurement and ordering.
The role includes conducting procurement processes, driving supplier negotiations, and conducting supplier audits. You actively work to develop the supplier base, follow up on existing collaborations, and identify new reliable suppliers that can contribute to right quality, delivery reliability, and long-term competitiveness.
The role is part of group management and you are expected to contribute a clear procurement and business perspective to strategic matters. You need to be able to analyze facts, understand financial consequences, and drive decisions that strengthen the whole – not just the procurement function.
This is a role for you who wants to combine strategy, analysis, and practical implementation. You will join an organization with high ambitions, strong industrial expertise, and a clear need for structure, negotiation power, and long-term supplier development.
Your Profile
We are looking for someone with experience in strategic procurement work, preferably from industrial or technical operations. You are experienced in driving procurement processes, negotiating with suppliers, and working with supplier development, quality, and delivery reliability. You have business acumen and understand how procurement affects both margins, production, and customer commitments.
You have good Excel skills and are comfortable working with data, follow-up, and decision-making materials. Experience with Monitor is a merit. Since the role involves contact with both Swedish and international suppliers, strong English language skills are a requirement.
You have experience leading, coordinating, or developing others and thrive in a leadership style where you need to create presence and clarity even remotely. The role requires that you are flexible in your approach and can build trust in both Tranås and Dala-Järna.
As a person, you are analytical, business-minded, and professional in your approach. You are relationship-focused but not overly personal in negotiation situations – you understand mandates, business, and boundaries. You are curious about finding new solutions and suppliers, while also being structured, driven, and clear in your priorities.
To succeed in this role, you need to thrive in a growing group where the procurement function will develop with larger volumes and higher demands. You need to be able to combine strategic perspective with operational presence, and have the ability to drive change in a way that creates security, structure, and results across the organization.
