KUNGSBACKA, SWEDEN – Tyri, a manufacturer of lighting equipment for work machines, is starting in-house production of circuit boards in Sweden.

The company's 1,800 sq. m. facility will make Tyri self-sufficient in this area, giving it will achieve increased control, higher quality, and more reliable deliveries, the company said.

"We see many advantages in producing the circuit boards we need ourselves. Increased quality and delivery reliability are two of the most important reasons. We will produce for our production facility in Gothenburg and also for our production units in the UK and the USA," said Jimmy Nordén, factory manager at Tyri Sweden.

Tyri said it plans to be self-sufficient in circuit boards for all the lamps produced in the group’s three factories by 2025, which will reduce the impact of global uncertainties and ensure more secure deliveries to customers.

"We have many colleagues the producing industry who have their circuit board production in southwest Sweden. A cluster of knowledge and experience has been built up here, and we want to contribute with our knowledge to make the region even stronger in this area," said circuit board production manager Per-Johan Edgren.

The company said digitalization is the focus for the future, and the 30 meter line is prepared from the start for continued digitalization.

"To achieve profitability in in-house circuit board production, a high degree of digitalization is required," said Edgren. "We have done our homework, we are using the technology available today, and have prepared ourselves for future continued digitalization. Much of it is about improving productivity with high quality. That was the condition for making this investment, and it seems we have succeeded."
