ÅF has signed a partnership agreement with Swedish sheet steel
manufacturer SSAB Tunnplåt in Borlänge, relating to consulting
services in all the relevant areas of technical expertise, including
project management. In this initial stage the agreement will run from
2008 to 2010.
 
During the contract negotiation process SSAB reduced the number of
its suppliers of technical consulting services from around 30 to just
two main partners - one of which is ÅF. It is anticipated that the
new agreement will lead to a significant increase in ÅF's assignment
volumes for SSAB Tunnplåt in Borlänge.
 
ÅF is active in all fields of steel industry-related technology and
can provide services in project management, the reinforcement of
assignment-related resources and specialist skills, full-service
undertakings or feasibility studies/strategic studies,
pre-engineering and/or risk analysis work.
 
The new agreement with SSAB Tunnplåt will lead to the recruitment of
extra resources in Falun/Borlänge for ÅF, which currently has
approximately 80 locally based employees in that part of Sweden.
