Holmgrens Plast

From its inception, Holmgrens Plast has invested heavily in advanced machinery, automation, and new technology. Based in Gnosjö, Southern Sweden amongst a cluster of other plastics manufacturers, Holmgrens Plast is a family run company founded by Stefan Holmgren with an annual turnover in excess of 100 million krona (circa £8.6m).

A combination of cost-effective production methods and innovation in design and prototyping meant that Holmgrens Plast was able to win a new customer in 2020 for 19 new projects; they chose Gnosjo rather than offshoring production to Asia. Holmgrens Plast has also been involved in the design, manufacture and assembly of advanced medical devices over the past couple of years.

Tiia-Mai is responsible for creating new inventory items and Bill of Materials (BOMs) for each project that goes through production: “When setting up new BOMs in DELMIAWorks, I may need to look at things such as machine cycle times, cavitation and tooling on a project-by-project basis. I may also need to factor in regrind percentages and the weight of runners and sprues. DELMIAWorks enables me to do that easily through its pre-configured structure."
