Since January this year Hagaberg is a new associated member of the Swedish Trade Association for suppliers of mobile machines.
“We share the values of the association and want to be clear about where we stand as a company,” says Stefan Carlsson Pautt, Chief Business Development Officer.
The association works for healthy and appropriate commerce. A membership ensures that the member company has good business practices, industry knowledge and qualified staff.
Hagaberg’s sister company Bodins Maskin has hired Linnea Klarqvist as new Production Manager. She started her position in early February 2020. “We are very happy that Linnea has joined our team in this newly created position as Production Manager at Bodins. This is one of many initiatives to strengthen our organization and part of our commitment to become one of the leading suppliers in Europe of fork-lift attachments and associated services” says Michael Mononen Chairman and co-owner of Bodins and Hagaberg.
Linnea was born in Uppsala and has lived in Örebro for many years. She studied to flight engineer for operational maintenance and quality at Mälardalens Högskola. Linnea worked as a quality coordinator at Atlas Copco and took a Green Certificate CNC, a certification of competencies required for competitive production. She continued in the company as measuring technician on the CNC, assembly and logistics side. To deepen her leadership skills, she started the Green Logistic Management program in 2016. A leadership training in logistics with focus on the environment and sustainability. Linnea’s most recent position was at BAE Systems Bofors in Karlskoga, Sweden where she worked as a production quality technician.
When time permits, Linnea likes to take a ride on her bike. She will be biking her third Tjejvättern this summer (a 100 km long bike race for women)!
What made you accept the post?
-I love to learn new things and the description of this job felt absolutely right! The experience I have from various aspects of production and quality will be of great help in my new role. I have mostly worked in large organizations. To be part of an expanding organization is very exciting!
How do you see your new role?
-As responsible for the production at Bodins, it is important to find the right conditions to take a well-established brand to the “next level”. Our scheduled move to a joint production site with Hagaberg in the end of the year, gives another aspect to my new job. To be involved from the beginning, planning new production flows and getting things “right from the start” is both challenging and very interesting.
Hagaberg Group (Bodins and Hagaberg) continues to expand the organization and has hired Oscar Carlsson Schaden as junior salesman for the Swedish market. He started in early January 2020 and will work with both Bodin’s and Hagaberg’s products. “We do this investment to better meet our customers wishes and requirements for service and product solutions. Oscar is a humble person with an interest in creating long-term relationships and to develop as a salesman”, says Business Development Manager Stefan Carlsson Pautt.
Oscar comes from Västervik and has played junior hockey on a high level, both in Sweden and the USA. He has worked in various fields, but his most recent position was in the logistics industry as a driver of heavy transport.
What made you accept the position?
I think the Hagaberg Group has interesting products and an exciting future. It’s also a great opportunity for me to be able to train to become a salesman.
How do you see your new role?
I have no previous sales experience, so it’s a new chapter in my life. I’m interested in people and keen to learn new things. As a salesman in the Hagaberg Group, I feel that it is a role where I can fit very well.

The company has appointed Martin Fransson as new Production Manager starting in September 2019. He has previously been Purchasing/Order Manager at the company and looks forward to this new role with great enthusiasm. “I’m very pleased that we have been able to do an internal recruitment and that Martin has taken the challenge” says CEO Magnus Larsson.
Martin was born and raised in Örebro. He is trained in Mechanical Engineering specialized in Industrial Economics at the University of Örebro. After the studies Martin played a season with Djurgården in the Swedish Futsal League. But when the position as Purchasing/Order Manager at Hagabergs Mekaniska became vacant, he decided to prioritize his professional career and joined the company in January 2018.
What made you accept the postition as Production Manager?
– Hagabergs is currently in an exciting phase. Earlier this year our owners acquired the company Bodins Maskin AB. This means that we, as a group, can offer our customers a wider range of products. As a result, there will be new challenges in our production plant. This also means a challenge for me personally and will give me an immediate experience of change management.
What challenges do you see?
– I do see challenges and they inspire me, but above all I see opportunities! The opportunity to streamline the production processes, but also the challenge of motivating and involving the staff in the change process.
How do you view the development of the production department?
– There’s a lot of exciting projects “in the pipe”. As a company and group, we are already one of the leading manufacturers of fork positioners in the Nordic region. However, the ambition of the company is to continue to grow, on the domestic market in the Nordic-Baltic countries, as well as across Europe. This will imply higher demands on the staff in terms of increased production capacity, more models and completely new products, Martin concludes.
