Made in Sweden is a plus

Steglinge Gård is a farm that began growing vegetables on a small scale back in the 1930s. Today, the company that grew out of that initial enterprise is one of the biggest in the industry, supplying fruit and vegetables to major chain retailers, commercial kitchens, schools, care homes, and hospitals. 

Kim Böchner is Technical Manager at Steglinge Gård and is responsible for all matters relating to the company’s properties, such as main- tenance as well as renovation and expansion work. In a career working in similar roles at various companies spanning over 20 years, he has only good things to say about Weland.
– I’ve worked with Weland many times over the years, and I’ve always been satisfied with both the products and working relationship we’ve managed to cultivate, he says.

Böchner also believes that dealing with a company that has its production and operations based in Sweden has major advantages. It’s an approach that permeates the entire business.

A clear choice
– It’s a big plus, no doubt about it. All the fruit and vegetables we process and pack are grown right here in Sweden, and we take the same approach to the products and services we purchase. Our philosophy is to use local companies wherever possible, particularly ones that are Swedish-owned. So for me, Weland feels like a clear choice. 

The vegetable processing and packing part of the business currently offers a range of around 500 different products that are cubed, cut, wedged, or mixed. These are not only supplied to customers in Sweden, but also to ones in Denmark and Finland. These destinations mark the limit the company has set for its Fresh Cut line of products. Fresh produce has a limited shelf life and everything the company supplies must be of a high quality and still be fresh when it reaches the end customer.

The business at Steglinge Gård has been growing steadily, and when it became apparent that the existing warehouse facility was no longer sufficient, thoughts began to turn to implementing a mezzanine solution.
– We needed more storage space as quickly and as cost-effectively as possible. The mezzanine we purchased from Weland has now been installed and it’s proving to be the perfect solution. It’s allowed us to use the full height of the premises for something more than just fresh air, providing a large area in which to store spare parts without going to the expense of building a costly extension. 

You always know what you’re getting
Böchner is pleased with what Weland has delivered and says that, in many ways, they was the perfect partner for such a project.
– They meet expectations – from ordering, all the way to the finished product and delivery times. If there’s something we need and Weland can provide it, I’ve absolutely no reason to look for another supplier. They aren’t always the cheapest, but you always know what you’re getting. Swedish-made products of the highest quality.
