Mastec helps industry leaders win quality, efficiency race

Lars Kindberg, CEO

Be it Tetra Pak's beverage-filling machines, DeLaval's milking robots, Atlas Copco's drilling machines or Saab Group's defence systems, Mastec's finely tuned relay team ensures each piece of equipment performs not just to run, but also to win the race.

The subcontractor of choice for some of the world's leaders in defence, medical technology, food processing, engineering vehicles and manufacture of related products, Mastec helps clients from concept and product development to production and assembly.

"We let our clients focus on their core business, while we take care of optimising and industrialising their production processes," says Lars Kindberg, CEO of Mastec.

While it dedicates 98 per cent of its business to serving industries as a high-quality subcontractor, Mastec also develops innovative products under its own brand.

One innovation is Premere, a "profitable recycling" machine that enables beverage manufacturers to manage returns, samples and mislabelled products by efficiently squeezing out up to 99.5 per cent of the liquid, which can be recycled as animal foodstuff or fuel material.

Another game-changer is the Flexicomb concept, which speeds up packing processes, eliminates transport damage and can be customised for any packaging application.

Highlighting Mastec's intensified branding is the change of its logotype earlier this year, symbolising the company's revitalised and progressive outlook. This includes expanding its production and operations in China, where it has been growing since 2005 within the food processing, medical technology and engineering vehicle segments.

Reinforcing its commitment to the market by hiring Chinese sales representatives, Mastec looks forward to attracting more local talent, suppliers and customers.

"Mastec aims to double its volumes in China within the year, and achieve as much as 15 per cent annual growth in the region," Kindberg says.

"We are also open to new opportunities with partners in China and Asia with whom we can grow, develop and step up the value-added chain."
