Our shared values

Our partners make us better

At Holtab, we set high goals, but we are also aware that we are not the best in everything. That’s why our partners are so important to us.

Of course, our customers are our most important partners – without them there is no Holtab. But many more play important roles in our development. From our suppliers and contractors to the municipality and schools that train our young talents. You help us continue our development.

We choose partners who are the best in their fields, and we encourage the sharing of knowledge and experience with each other. Our common principle is that we treat all our partners with respect and openness.

We are always at the forefront of technology

Being a world-class company demands a lot of us and, for us, innovation and development are crucial.

We always strive to be at the forefront of technology and shall continue to lead the technological development in our product area. We achieve this first and foremost through the constant development of our employees, but also by using the latest technology to improve the performance of our products.

We also keep our eyes open for technical solutions that can develop our production. In other words, development is a central part of our business. We are only truly satisfied when we meet or exceed our customers’ expectations.

We grow with profitability

For us, growth is one of our top priorities. But just producing and selling more is not enough. We also have to do it in a smart way to ensure it is profitable for us. This gives us a better negotiating position and creates opportunities to attract even more customers.

When our finances are stable and strong, we become a reliable partner for our customers. At the same time, it gives us scope to continue investing in the streamlining of our operations.

Profitable growth also gives us more flexibility. And most importantly: it creates security for our employees and is visible in the form of bonuses and benefits.

Customers decide whether we have the right quality

Our customers have high expectations of us, and we like that, because it ensures that we develop. We always strive to live up to the Holtab standards for all products.

For us, quality is not just about how well our products work, but also about how reliably we deliver them to our customers. By keeping to our delivery times, we gain respect and trust.

Ultimately, it is our customers who have the last word. When they feel that we deliver good quality, we know that we are doing the right thing.

We want to be the obvious choice

Our customers are the most important thing we have. We can't even imagine Holtab without them. It is their needs that keep us moving and enable our development. We always strive to be the obvious choice, now and in the future.

To keep this promise, we work actively with an eye on the future. Everyone here at Holtab has the customer's best interests in mind, regardless of our role. If we make a mistake, such as not living up to our promises or the customer’s expectations, we promise to rectify it quickly.

We aim to do the right thing from the start

One question we should always ask ourselves is: Are we creating benefit for the customer? When we do this, we build the foundation for winning, and retaining, satisfied customers. Because no one wants to pay for something that has no benefit. We also have internal 'customers' in our processes.

When we all do the right thing from the start, the work flows more smoothly and we can deliver at the right quality and at the right price. While we focus on creating value for our customers, we also strengthen ourselves.

By avoiding unnecessary costs and acting at the highest level, we become more competitive. Our aim is simply for world class!

We take responsibility, together

To become a world-class company, we all need to be engaged. To ensure commitment and take responsibility, we need to know what is happening and what paths need to be taken. That’s why at Holtab we have an open atmosphere and do our best to communicate clearly. If someone doesn't have the right information, they have both a right and a responsibility to ask.

We use our meetings at various levels to explain and discuss what is happening in our departments and for Holtab as a whole. By being open and encouraging dialogue, we inspire teamwork and the sharing of knowledge, which leads us forward.

There is a lot that's good, but it can always be better

We know that there is always room for improvement. Our work is organised through different processes, all with the same goal: to make our customers happy.

We work in ways that ensure we achieve the right quality. We also make sure this is done efficiently. We take care not to waste resources, be it time, materials or other costs. This is how we achieve our goals – by everyone treating the company’s resources as their own.

Even though our processes are good today, we work hard to make them even better. We are all committed to improving and fine-tuning our processes. Because we know that even small details are important for creating an even stronger Holtab.

We always think about the environment and sustainability

At Holtab, we prioritise the environment and sustainability in everything we do – this is a matter of course for us. We have environmental awareness built into all our processes.

Recycling and sustainability are a natural part of our business. We are constantly looking for ways to use energy more efficiently, both for ourselves and for our customers. We go beyond what the laws and regulations require when it comes to environmental responsibility.

In addition, we are committed to creating a safe and healthy working environment for our employees. By encouraging and supporting various wellness activities, we promote health and well-being

We are resource-efficient

At Holtab, we value 'Småland thriftiness'. For us, this means that we are careful about how we use our resources, focusing on continuous improvement. Being 'thrifty' means that we think once and then twice to avoid using resources unnecessarily. Ultimately, there is always someone who has to pay for the resources we use.

By being economical, we can keep our prices competitive, which gives us advantages in the market. When we encounter problems, we always look to find the root cause. We don't give up – that’s how we get better and better at what we do.

Social responsibility – a matter of course

At Holtab, we are all part of the same community. We understand that we live in a bigger world, both globally and locally. That’s why we take responsibility for the well-being of our employees and for the local area in which we operate.

We work for a rich and vibrant community, with club life, culture and sports. When we look outwards, we are of course aware that we are also part of the bigger world. Our business, which focuses on power transmission, plays an important role in people’s lives and is a fundamental necessity for welfare worldwide.

We may not be able to do everything, but at Holtab we contribute in concrete ways based on our knowledge and experience. Whether it’s support for sports, beekeeping or hydropower in Nepal.

We lead ourselves and others

To create a world-class company, leadership needs to be constantly developed. At Holtab, our leadership is based on our shared values. They serve as our compass as we navigate into the future. Our leaders are role models for the entire organisation and have the ability to lead themselves and others.

Being a manager and leader with us means building honest and trusting relationships, both internally and externally, with our customers, suppliers and partners. Our primary task is to create results by utilising and developing our employees and the business.

We pursue our goals with decisiveness, clarity, honesty and humility. To achieve our goals, we are prepared to make difficult decisions, while being flexible enough to rethink and think outside the box when needed.
