At AXEL, we strive to provide the best quality grease and services. A significant part of this involves the concept of "Visual Factory" that drives our day-to-day. Through Visual Factory, we ensure a safe workplace, a highly efficient operation, and the engagement and pride of our employees and other stakeholders.
The AXEL team continues growing. The responsibilities of this role encompass the full purchase process both at an operational and tactical level. The main focus is on sourcing and purchasing materials required for the production process, including base oils, additives, and packaging materials, but also on occasion supporting local stakeholders with purchasing indirect materials and services. In daily activities, you will work together with a local purchase manager and be supported by an experienced international purchase team. Learn more about this opportunity.
As we soon turn the page on 2022, it is relevant to take a brief look in the rear-view mirror. The turbulent time from the previous year did carry forward, featuring supply chain challenges, transportation, and reoccurring Covid issues, even if the latter is now gradually being referred to by some as ‘just another virus’.
Mid-October, AXEL Sweden hosted several team members from area companies for a fully packed two days of Grease Genius Sessions. The experience included joint presentations at both AXEL and SKF facilities. The topics covered ranged from tribology and what is grease?
On Sept 20th, AXEL’s Per Nilsson presented at SKF’s Lubrication Maintenance Seminar to an audience of over 50 managers, mechanical and reliability engineers, and maintenance personnel.
We had a packed agenda with a lively, engaged, and energetic group of colleagues from all our countries exchanging experiences, successes, plans, and special recognitions and prizes. We covered topics ranging from our ongoing investments across the Group to modernise our facilities, expand our capacities, strengthen our supply chain, continue our exciting R&D, as well as our hiring initiatives.
