< Back APAC SwedCham Webinar: CEO Talk: Micael Johansson, CEO of Saab Group, 8 November 2023 On 8 November, SwedCham in Singapore hosted a webinar with Micael Johansson, CEO of Saab Group, on the topic of national security, with a focus on the nature of defence manufacturing and strategies. Micael Johansson started by summarising SAAB’s key areas, along with its four major hubs outside of Sweden: the USA, the UK, Australia, and Germany. He explained that SAAB’s focus lies in aiding countries in rebuilding military supplies. The session transitioned to the main topic, where he discussed his views on current events and how SAAB is responding. SAAB is changing its regional supply chains. It is simultaneously building up its stockpiles, thus making SAAB more resilient to future possible security issues. The war in Ukraine has revolutionised modern warfare, with the use of traditional and civilian technologies. A connected battlefield is also something new, where both AI and the cloud are being used in real-time. This is something the SAAB CEO believes will be the future of warfare. SAAB is strategically expanding its presence in the APAC region, designating Australia as a key hub. Meanwhile, having reached market penetration in India, Thailand, and Singapore, where various products are sold in their respective countries. We would like to thank SwedCham in Singapore and SAAB for this interesting webinar! Previous Next

< Back APAC SwedCham Webinar: After the Storm: Sourcing Trends in China and Southeast Asia, 15 November 2023 On 15 November, SweCham and ARC Consulting hosted a webinar with Marcus Sohlberg, Business Development Director at ARC Consulting, on the topic Sourcing Trends in China and Southeast Asia and how they develop over time. Trade values are rising in first half of 2023, though being lower than 2021-2022. Global factors affecting trade include geopolitical tensions, economic weakness, trade restrictions, industrial output slowdown, inflation, and high interest rates. The top three Southeast Asian sourcing countries are: Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia. Although China's reopened borders have a negative impact on the other sourcing countries, Thailand's automotive, agriculture, and food sourcing sectors are thriving, while for Malaysia there is increased sourcing in electronics and batteries for EVs. Currently, relocating sourcing from China has decreased, possibly due to prior relocations. However Southeast Asia sees a positive trend, with companies inclined to keep or relocate sourcing and manufacturing to the region. The top three risk factors companies see in China are: increasing costs, unstable supplier performance, and increased tariffs. Meanwhile, in Southeast Asia, the concerns include increasing costs, unstable supplier performance, and a lack of supply skills. The reasons for relocation include cost savings, risk mitigation, and improved logistics. Interestingly, supply chains currently face disruptions due to new ESG policies, but also the EU Carbon Border Tax, Carbon Peak and Neutrality, and EU Supply Chain Act. In reflection of this, an issue has emerged where many companies are assessing suppliers' carbon footprint data, meanwhile lacking proper data collection. In summary, there is a growing confidence in Southeast Asia and Europe for sourcing, but China remains the top choice. We would like to thank Marcus Sohlberg for sharing his valuable insights on sourcing within China and Southeast Asia with us! Previous Next

< Back APAC SwedCham Webinar: CEO talk: Helena Hedblom, CEO and President of Epiroc, 28 February 2024 On 28 February, SACC and SwedCham Singapore with support from APAC SwedChams and Norchams hosted a webinar with Ms. Helena Hedblom , President and CEO of Epiroc Group , offering detailed insights into Epiroc's journey transitioning a heavy industrial company into a fast-paced technology firm. Ms. Hedblom highlighted their emphasis on sustaining profitable growth through outperforming in their industry! Epiroc is making systemic changes to its industry. The company is creating profitable growth through a focus on attractive market niches, with the goal of outperforming. Epiroc must be either number one or two in the industrial sector, or it needs to exit the sector. To outperform competitors, Epiroc follows three key parts: a strong emphasis on innovation; a dedication to aftermarket, and a commitment on operational excellence. This direction towards outperformance must be supported by a strong culture anchoring the strategy within the company. Culture is key; the people must be the right fit for the company, down to earth, hands-on, ready to go the extra mile, and eager to win. Ms. Hedblom discussed how Epiroc, as a technology company, prioritises automation, digitalisation, and electrification. These priorities exist due to how Automation makes mining safer. Epiroc's automation consists of Autonomous load/haul, autonomous drill rigs, teleremote, and Epiroc Rig controlled enabled fleet, comprising over 2,400 driverless machines! Digitalisation aims to create situational awareness and fleet management, ore body knowledge, and mine process optimisation. Electrification reduces mining dangers, where electric mining equipment protects people from hazardous fumes, cuts emissions, and increases productivity. To make Epiroc the number one choice, there is a strong emphasis on aftermarket care, ensuring the availability of the right spare parts and components, service agreements and audits, midlife service, training, and more. Epiroc also provides tools and attachments, such as rock drilling tools and hydraulic attachments, to smooth mining operations. Epiroc has ambitious goals for 2030 including no work-related injuries, a balanced workforce, and a doubling of the number of women in operational roles. It also focuses on the environment, aiming to halve CO2 emissions in operations and transport, among other sustainability goals. We would like to extend our thanks to the speakers Ms. Helena Hedblom, the moderator Ms. Petra Andrén. Also big thanks to all the participants who joined us at this remarkable webinar. Finally, congratulations to SACC and SwedCham Singapore for arranging an excellent session in the APAC CEO series! For more information on Epiroc, please visit https://www.epiroc.com/ Previous Next
