Nord-Lock Group has expanded its production facility in Mattmar, Sweden, with a significantly larger production area and a new office building.

The opening is the Group’s third big investment as a result of its focus to meet increasing demand. The inauguration of the Mattmar facilities saw Governor Marita Ljung, Investment AB Latour’s CEO Johan Hjertonsson and the Group’s CEO Fredrik Meuller open the new heart of Nord-Lock Group.

“We are seeing a sharp increase in demand for our solutions from customers all over the world, and to ensure future needs we have expanded our three largest units during the pandemic and invested in state of the art equipment. Today we are very happy and proud to be able to inaugurate our expanded business right here in Mattmar. The new facility ensures long-term production capacity and provides us with a good basis for continued focus on innovation and development of world leading bolting solutions. The focus for the expansion has been to create sustainable production and create a better working environment for our employees,” says Fredrik Meuller, president and CEO of Nord-Lock Group.

Back in 2019, the first sod was laid for the Group’s most extensive expansion project ever, by upgrading and expanding the three largest production units in the business. As well as this, in February 2021, Fredrik Meuller inaugurated Expander’s operations in Åtvidaberg, Sweden, with a doubled production area to meet market demand for, among other things, pivot pins. In October, the Group’s brand new unit was also inaugurated in Pittsburgh, USA, which will be the base for the company’s Superbolt production and US sales offices.
