Although Nordea believes that the expectations refl ected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Important fac- tors that may cause such a difference for Nordea include, but are not limited to: (i) the macroeconomic development, (ii) change in the competitive climate and (iii) change in interest rate level. This report does not imply that Nordea has undertaken to revise these forward-looking statements, beyond what is required by applicable law or applicable stock exchange regulations if and when circumstances arise that will lead to changes compared to the date when these statements were provided.

  • Modernization Increased Crane Lifetime
    CASE STUDY RUUKKI METALS OY, FINLAND MODERNIZATION INCREASED CRANE LIFETIME CHALLENGE Rautaruukki is a Finnish metal company that provides its customers with energy- efficient steel solutions for better living, working and moving. The company has around 12,000 employees in 30 countries. The N7 bridge crane at their Hameenlinna factory was severely outdated. The original cabin was worn out, and spare parts were no longer readily available. The crane needed to be modernized. SOLUTION The factory had another crane in need of modernization, and a third one at the end of its life cycle. They decided to relocate the cranes. One crane was removed, two cranes were relocated, and a new crane was ordered. After the modernization, the N7 crane was relocated to the dispatch department where it would load coils on to trains and trucks. The crane’s electrical system and drives were updated, the mechanical parts of the trolley and bridge were serviced, and the crane was repainted. Furthermore, the crane was connected to the inventory management system. RESULTS The modernization significantly increased the lifetime of their crane. Adding inventory management made dispatch work easier and more efficient, and enabled them to have better control over their inventory. The customer is completely satisfied with the modernization. “The crane started working immediately and without problems,” says Arto Savolainen, Electrics Maintenance Engineer at Ruukki Metals. “I haven’t heard anything negative, only praise. The production department is completely satisfied with the crane.” PRODUCTS & SERVICES INDUSTRIAL CRANES: Konecranes is the industry benchmark for safety, reliability, cost saving and productivity-enhancing innovation.
