As a stage in further expansion plans, Semcon will now be taking its first step with a new establishment in Scandinavia. Norway will be first in line, and Semcon will be setting up in business there with an office in Oslo. " We will be making a major effort in Norway," says Hans Johansson, Managing Director of Semcon AB. "Our aim is to have 150 consultants active in Norway within three years." "We have been engaged on a number of major tasks for Norwegian companies for many years, working on projects in collaboration with our Swedish client companies. There is a wide market, and demand in Norway for our services is strong in various sectors. We see great possibilities for development in land- based industry, and the offshore industry will also be an important area to invest in," Hans Johansson continues. Many of Semcon's customers, major industrial companies such as Volvo, Saab, Ericsson and ABB, are active globally, and requiring more and more that their subcontractors should be able to operate in a global market. Over the coming years Semcon will be accompanying its customers more and more on the international scene and several establishments are in the pipeline in Scandinavia.
