As 2018 comes to a close, I wish to extend a special THANK YOU to…
All our CUSTOMERS, who we work hard to service in the best possible way and are privileged to serve. We set high standards and it is a true challenge, in times of growth, to get it 100% correct all the time. However, we thrive and learn from these challenges and the high demand in 2018 has made us stronger and more capable going into 2019. Thank you for providing these challenges and rest assured we will do our very best!
All our SUPPLIERS, who play an equally essential role in the success of our business by enabling us to deliver finished products to our customers. The vast majority of our suppliers do a great job for which you deserve our sincere appreciation. In some cases, improvements are required so that we can satisfy our customers. Rest assured, we will work together, communicate such requirements and call for actions when needed.
All AXEL EMPLOYEES, who have grown substantially in numbers during 2018 due to the acquisition of ROYAL Manufacturing LLC. Together, our energy and capabilities will ensure that, as an organization, we are better equipped than ever to serve the needs of our customers. Your continued contribution and commitment is, as always, greatly appreciated.
This year has been very special for us at AXEL. Welcoming Royal Manufacturing LLC as part of the Axel family was an early highlight in March and since then, all AXEL entities have contributed to a picture of positive growth.
We also proudly celebrated our 130th year anniversary at the end of October. That said, we are of course aware that for all our past achievements, it is our performance today and tomorrow that will determine our continued success into the future.
As Christmas and the New Year will soon be upon us, I wish you all the very best for the holidays. I hope you can spend time with family and friends, whilst also making time for yourself to rest, read an interesting book or take a relaxing walk – simply treat yourself to well-deserved quality time.
We wish you health, happiness and success and see you again in 2019!
Johan Stureson
CEO
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
