"Today, co-operation between companies within one industry is more open and common. MRC is a neutral forum with access to a wide range of sound knowledge. The businesses in the Centre complement each other and work together within areas such as IT, communication, transport, education and competence development.
We have an open dialogue and view the opportunities of co-operation as a strength."
Bertil Olsson, Mitec Instrument AB
"Säffle is now recognized as a ’hot spot’ for the measurement and control industry. The Measurement & Control Centre helps us present a common face to our customers and strengthen our relationships with customers and suppliers alike. The diversity within the group adds strength.
The Measurement & Control Centre is improving the cross-fertilisation of ideas and knowledge within the cluster and with our markets. Of course this helps lift our profile, but most importantly the cluster establishes credibility and reliability in the eyes of customers and the community. We are a Centre of exceptional knowledge and competence."
Jörgen Münch, Unimetron Elektronik AB
"The Centre offers opportunities for the long term survival of the member companies. It creates security for customers and increased competitive strength. The local information network is viewed as something extaordinary. The companies can also support each other. Time is a limited resource, especially in a small company, and in that respect MRC’s meetings are valuable since branch-specific issues are discussed and pushed forward.
One advantage for large corporations is that niche companies often have more specialised knowledge and competence. There is a general development towards focus on the core business and use of outsourcing. Knowing each other’s business and products can create positive synergy effects."
Catharina Johansson, CCI Valve Technology AB
"The Measurement & Control Centre in Säffle is very positive from a recruitment point of view. We represent 12 employers within similar industries in the same community. Nowadays, very few companies recruit on the basis that the employee stays within the organisation throughout their career. On the contrary, with more options and career possibilities for people, we achieve lower staff turnover and higher stability.
CCI Valve Technology has an export share of 97% and many international contacts, e.g. customer delegations from China several times a year, and it is positive for us to emphasize the further competence strength due to the co-operation with the MRC.
Säffle has advantageous communications/infrastructure, good leisure facilities and natural assets, especially the lake Vänern with its beautiful archipelago, which all offer a good quality of life."
