Background to the price

The award aims to highlight that development in the field of assembly is of great importance for the competitiveness of Swedish industry. Accelerated globalisation, supported by the rapid development of information technology, is leading to increasingly intense competition between companies with the same product, but in different countries or continents.

Please submit nominations for the Assembly Award 2025 no later than January 17, 2025 – for the award ceremony at the Assembly Conference on March 12, 2025.
