Three business areas become two - A global range of solutions in several locations

Nolato merged the two business areas Integrated Solutions and Industrial ­Solutions into a single business area – Engineered Solutions – as of the first ­quarter of 2024. “We’re seeing that many of our customers are optimizing their resources and presence based on a global market approach, and are therefore looking for global suppliers with a local presence,” explains Christer Wahlquist, Nolato’s ­President and CEO. 

Joint strategy

“Adopting a joint strategy and management in the merged business area enables us to offer our customers a global range of solutions in several locations. This allows us to proactively develop new, major customers and realize the full potential of our existing customer base.” The merger means that Nolato now has a group structure comprising two business areas, as opposed to the previous three.

 

Similar in many ways

“This division feels right for us,” comments Christer Wahlquist. “The two business areas share a number of common denominators, as both are involved in the development and manufacture of products in polymer materials. Their production processes are also similar in many ways. 

“What sets them apart and justifies the separation into two business areas is mainly the stringent regulatory requirements and extended time perspectives associated with processes in the medical field. These demand a different way of working with development and production than in other sectors.”

 

Interdisciplinary collaboration

“At the same time the two business areas are not islands,” notes Christer Wahlquist. “Many of our units around the world support customers operating in both business areas. 

“The flows are separated in order to offer each customer optimal conditions, but we are constantly working across disciplines to give all our customers access to our entire range of skills and experience – what we refer to as One Nolato.” 


Many of Nolato's units around the world support customers operating in both Medical Solutions and Engineered Solutions.
