It’s an exciting time for manufacturing, and we look forward to moving the industry forward together!”įor Stefan Widing, President and CEO of Sandvik, the acquisition is in line with the company’s strategic focus to grow in the digital manufacturing space. “I am very passionate about manufacturing in Australia and pride myself in partnering with progressive manufacturing companies to achieve better outcomes.
