Continued growth and major investments for the future

My perspective - Staffan Dahlström, CEO at HMS

New technologies

We are working on fifth-generation mobile telephony (5G) with several leading telecom companies. As a technology, 5G has excellent industrial communication capabilities and we believe that 5G will play an increasingly important role in industrial applications over the next 5 years.

This applies both to critical applications associated with high demands for time synchronization and security and to applications where lots of data from sensors must be collected to enable statistical applications that simplify maintenance.

Sustainability

We continue our sustainability efforts, which are based on the GRI Guidelines adopted by the UN. The strategy includes being a good employer and taking environmental responsibility, as well as using sustainable solutions in our production facilities and other operations.

Our primary focus is to continue to develop solutions that help our customers reduce their resource utilization and energy consumption while increasing productivity. This is an area where HMS can really make a difference.

Future investments

We continue to increase our market presence, not only by adding more resources to our major markets such as Germany, the US and Japan, but also through new initiatives such as our new offices in Singapore, Seoul and Dubai.

Acquisitions

HMS has recently acquired German Beck IPC GmbH, WEBfactory GmbH and Dutch Procentec B.V. The new technology will be an important part of our Industrial Internet of Things technology platform.
