metrology as the heart of the production process

Formteknik headquartered in Anderstorp, Sweden, is the world's leading supplier of system solutions, from design to turnkey injection molding solutions for high-volume production, in medical technology and packaging industries. With a proven track record in delivering world-class products and services, Formteknik's unique approach focuses on metrology, which is at the heart of the production process.

Lars Andersson, Production Manager at Formteknik, says: "Without the measuring machines, our production would come to a standstill. We work in segments where our customers expect the highest possible quality, and there's simply no room for error." This unwavering commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of Formteknik's operation, from its state-of-the-art facilities to its talented and dedicated employees.

One of the ways Formteknik attracts and retains top talent is by offering a unique and supportive work environment. "We don't just sit around and complain about the lack of technicians or workers in general," Lars explains. "Instead, we actively seek out talented and dedicated employees and then help them develop their skills and grow their careers within our company."

Lina Persson is one of those success stories. The 25-year-old metrology technician, who has worked for the company for three years, began her career at an industrial school, where she learned how to operate CNC machines. After gaining experience at metrology , she jumped at the opportunity to join Formteknik, citing the company's potential for growth and development as the main reason for her decision. "Formteknik cares about its employees and is always looking for ways to improve and innovate," Lina said. "Working with WENZEL and its measurement software Quartis has been anincredible opportunity to hone my skills and contribute to a dynamic and exciting field."

Lina wants to encourage more young people to explore the world of metrology . "If you like taking on challenges and solving complex problems, then metrology is for you," she says. "There are endless opportunities to develop and grow in this field, and I can see myself working in metrology for many years to come."

Besides Lina, Markus Norrman, who has been with the company for almost 20 years, works in Formteknik's metrology team. He started out in production and gradually got more and more involved with metrology, so he was soon hooked on the intricacies of the field. "I love experimenting with software and learning new things every day," Markus explains. "It's incredibly satisfying to tackle a big challenge with my team and find innovative solutions using cutting-edge technology."

Both Lina and Markus agree that working with WENZEL has made their work much easier. Quartis has made their work much easier, mainly due to the user-friendly interface of the software. Markus also praises the responsiveness of the WENZEL group, which has always been accommodating and quick to address any concerns or suggestions for improvement. 

Formteknik is looking to the future and striving to remain at the forefront of metrology . Markus cites automated measurement and more efficient measurement of round details as two of the key challenges the company is currently working to overcome. In the meantime, Lars emphasizes the importance of establishing a strong presence throughout Europe, with a focus on leveraging the expertise of partners like Ravema to streamline the production process and ensure continued success for years to come, "Ravema is truly a unique partner. Ravema 's expertise and the fact that they can also support their partners with sophisticated training and tasks in production and metrology is very special. I would say no other supplier can match that," says Lars.
