Reflecting on 2024 and Looking Ahead to 2025

Dec 19, 2024

2024 has been an important year for Ursviken. Despite challenging market conditions, particularly in Europe, we have achieved remarkable milestones in automation and precision engineering. CEO Nicklas Jakobsson highlights the year’s achievements, showcasing our resilience and commitment to quality. 

Building our Largest and Most Complex System to Date 

This year we embarked on constructing our largest and most complex system to date. This project tested engineering limits, combining large-scale automation and unique functionality. “The size, technical challenges, and uniqueness of this system demanded entirely new solutions,” Jakobsson said. For this project, our solution will be able to dramatically cut the customer’s cycle times. The lessons learned set new benchmarks for future innovations. 

Additionally, we have begun working on a new revolutionary angle measurement system that no one else is currently offering. The new system will take accuracy to an entirely new level. 

Delivering the Largest Press Brake Ever 

Another notable accomplishment in 2024 was the successful delivery of the largest press brake ever manufactured. This achievement highlights our capacity to handle large-scale projects while maintaining its commitment to quality and reliability. 

Strengthening Quality and Agent Network 

Over the past year, Ursviken has prioritized initiatives to ensure that every machine meets its promise of unparalleled quality and durability. We have invested in new equipment, resources, and refined working procedures to uphold our high standards.  

Recognizing the importance of global reach, we have worked diligently to strengthen our agent network worldwide. In August we took on a partnership with Fredko Oy, strengthening our presence in Finland and the Baltic countries.  

Vision for 2025 

Looking ahead, Ursviken aims to navigate the challenging market conditions by: 

  • Ensuring delivery excellence: Meeting and exceeding customer expectations. 
  • Focusing on strong segments and special projects: Building on 2024 successes with highly customized machines. 
  • Advancing automation and precision: Continuing to innovate with technologies to stay ahead.  

As we close the year, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our colleagues, partners, and customers for your collaboration throughout 2024. We look forward to achieving even greater success together in 2025.
