STOCKHOLM — NOTE has agreed with the current property owner to acquire the building and surrounding land where NOTE Torsby conducts its business. This is to enable a future expansion of the business to meet an increasing demand. The purchase price amounts to SEK 41.5 million.

NOTE Torsby currently rents the property where the business is conducted. The size of the plant amounts to just over 7,000 square meters and was expanded as late as 2021. NOTE has agreed with the current property owner to acquire the plant. Land of around 54,000 square meters is also included in the acquisition, which enables continued expansion of the business in Torsby. The purchase price amounts to SEK 41.5 million and the payment is made in cash based on NOTE's strong balance sheet.

“NOTE continues to see an increasing demand from its customers. As late as 2021, the plant in Torsby was expanded by 2,200 square meters, but we already see that the growth forecast that was the basis for that expansion has been exceeded. Through the purchase of the property, we are preparing for further expansion,” says Johannes Lind-Widestam, CEO and President.

The deal is conditional on the city council approving the sale, which is expected to occur in the coming week.

AUSTIN, TX ― Cetec ERP, a leading cloud ERP software provider, is pleased to announce that Jordan Jolly, Director of Sales and Implementation, will co-host a webinar with Zuken Americas entitled, “Connecting CAD Engineering to Your ERP System.” The webinar is scheduled to take place Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2023 at 2 p.m. EST. To register for the webinar, visit https://pages.zuken.com/webinar-connecting-cad- engineering-to-your-erp-system.html 

One of the joint pain points of manufacturing is being able to centralize data for multiple departments –particularly moving a BOM from an engineering CAD program such as Zuken's Harness Builder for E3.series into the ERP system for quoting, scheduling, procurement, inventory management and production. This slows down quote turnaround, causes multiple systems to have to be maintained, compromises traceability and reduces production visibility.

This webinar will cover pushing a BOM from Harness Builder for E3.series into Cetec ERP with the ability to trigger the production process with a push of a button.

Jolly helps oversee sales, marketing, product management, implementation and customer service. He has more than 10 years of experience in ERP, dealing specifically with manufacturing companies.

Cetec ERP’s leading-edge system helps customers handle stringent regulatory requirements and track dynamic production environments, all from a single, friendly web interface.
