Monthly letter March 2020 - everything in forging & glass

Everyone is affected by the spread of the coronavirus, so are we. Right now it feels like we are on a plane on our way to an unknown destination. We are high in the air and on board there are both fear of flying and calm passengers. The plane sounds more than usual and we are exposed to turbulence and unpleasant impressions. Air pits cause the plane to suddenly sink and this is something that can be experienced as unpleasant even for those who are not afraid of flying. A feeling that now we are crashing we can suddenly appear… 

But, we must continue to fly and focus on the goal even if conditions change rapidly. Adapting quickly to prevailing circumstances is important. We may have to change flight altitude or fly around an area to cope with unforeseen turbulence. The goal is still for the plane to land without crashing! 

Today we do not know what consequences the corona pandemic will have. The goal is for us to get through this turbulent time and the challenges we face. Cooperation and a strong community are more important than ever right now. Without it, it will be difficult to perform forge and glass world class! 

Our course activities continue!

The interest in learning to weld and build their own objects in wrought iron continues despite the corona crisis. We will therefore continue to give everyone who is healthy the opportunity to learn welding. So check out our extended course offerings and sign up for a welding course!

No one wants to clean up after someone else 

5 S is a forum where everyone is involved in creating order and order in our forging workshop. Now we have the most important piece left. Namely, to make work a routine in everyday life. It is not until it becomes unnatural to leave one's workplace in a state other than the very best that we know we have succeeded. It should be obvious to follow the agreements we come to. After Easter, we will divide everyone into groups with different areas of responsibility and continue working on the final steps 5 S.  

  1. Sort
  2. Structure
  3. Clean
  4. Standardize
  5. Create a habit

All for an even better and safer workplace with higher well-being and better profitability!

MONTHLY LETTER FEBRUARY 2020 - everything in forging & glass

Welcome to the family!

Finally, we can tell you that we have recently joined as a partner in a sheet metal & forging company in Östergötland. Great fun and exciting! We have a lot to gain from a collaboration. They know sheet metal & forging and we can contribute what we are good at. In addition, it will be easier to achieve a good result if we are helped through adversity and success. Together with Bröderna Eddings Smide, we will become a strong player in the market and deliver forge & glass world class! 

We're going to grow so fast

We are well on our way to crossing a milestone in Lundgren's development, namely a turnover of 100 million by 2020. As a result of our own growth and acquisitions, we have increased in size. Here are some points we worked on:

  • SELL It all starts with sales!
  • COMMUNITY Teamwork makes the dreamwork!
  • 5 S Create and maintain order & order. 
  • RECRUITMENT CV is history! A positive attitude and how to use your knowledge is more important!
  • PROFIT OWNER SYSTEM Take responsibility for sales and implementation of your own projects and you will get to see the results. 
  • DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES The door is open for you who want to develop. 

Our ambition is to continue to grow by finding more companies where our platform can be useful.

Now Eezer is in Africa to reduce maternal mortality

A new group is in Kenya to follow up the project of developing and implementing motorcycle ambulances for reduced maternal mortality. They will deliver a new crew to a clinic in Samuli in southern Kenya and follow up on some already delivered crews.

Do you want to get involved in Eezer? Then you are welcome to contribute exactly what you are good at or you can become monthly donor to take the work forward. To be part of making the world a little better is an indescribable feeling!  

Eezer has a lot of exciting things going on. Among other things, materials for ambulances will be transported down to Burundi. After that, Eezer will set up a workshop on site where locals will be trained in building ambulances. As maternal mortality is a major problem in Burundi, carriages will make a big difference and save many lives.

Take a welding course with us this spring

Even if you have never held a weld before, you can easily join metal together with the help of a welding wire and build a table, for example. Eager to learn? Then you should check out ours supply because we have courses for all tastes, both for individuals, companies and schools. With us, for example, an 80-year-old woman who has never welded before managed to get her first welding certificate.

Monthly newsletter January 2020 - everything in forging & glass

Now we're in place

I want to start by thanking the moving team for a fantastic job because now we are finally in place in the new forging workshop at Tornväktargränd in Bromma. It feels good when the machines run hot and a wonderful mix of music is played in the speakers when our skilled blacksmiths conjure up unique forging products. 

It is not often you get the opportunity to build a new forging workshop, which has been fantastic fun. Our new forging workshop has many advantages, including the surface where there is an opportunity to grow and create a good and pleasant working environment. It also feels good that we are centrally located and can continue to provide fast service within forge & glass to our costumers!  

Now we will speed up sales 

We face (as always) a number of challenges. Next we need to speed up sales. Selling is not always easy but full of challenges. Either we can choose to blame yours and hers or we stop apologizing and drive on because it is full of interesting business. Peter and Martin feel tagged for the task of driving sales forward. Here are five tips on how we can speed up our sales: 

  • Set aside time. Nothing is more important than selling. No but without realizing that your sales time is important!
  • Be quick. Get in touch with the customer quickly, leave quick quotes, give quick feedback, give fast deliveries, etc. No one likes to wait!
  • Build relationships. People want to do business with people and not with companies. So take good care of our customers at all levels!
  • Solve problems. Find out what the customer needs help with and solve it! 
  • Exceed expectations. To retain the customers we already have exceed their expectations. If they are satisfied, they will buy more and provide good references. 

Remember that no one is the best at everything, so exchange experiences and lessons, pep and help each other with the challenges that arise. Together we have lots of knowledge and strengths that allow us to deliver world-class forging and glass. Everything from beams and steel stairs to glass sections and shelf brackets. In other words, small and large. We are experts in special forging, something that others in the industry find difficult to perform. It is a privilege that we have so many skilled blacksmiths! So what do you say, do you accept the challenge?

Great interest in welding

The interest in learning to weld is great, so we have expanded the range of courses with, among other things, metal handicraft, welding evenings and weekend courses. For five years, our experienced blacksmiths have trained in welding and hundreds of course participants have received approved welding tests. So check out ours welding courses and take the chance and try something new either as a course participant or course leader. 

Nice weekend!

Monthly newsletter December 2019 - everything in forging & glass

What do we remember from 2019?

Wow what a year it has been! The parable of a roller coaster is quite apt for the year. Expectantly, you sit in the carriage and it becomes a journey both up and down and with a loop in the middle. When it is at its scariest, a feeling suddenly arises that you want to get off the car, but it is not possible. It goes away and suddenly you are back where it all started and happy that it is over. A fun, exciting, cool or awful experience, depending on who you are.

2019 is a year that I will soon forget with many great challenges that we together have helped to overcome. Here you get some glimpses from the year.

The year began shakily with low sales. It was tougher than we had predicted to succeed with the sale through our investment with new project managers as our old experienced foxes retired. Until we got Lundgren's biggest project of all time. It was an outstanding team that struggled with steel frames and sheet metal cassettes on Fridhemsplan during a very tight schedule this summer. The gang showed that they could solve the task in a good way in time. 

No summer without a summer torment

It was a real push to get us through the liquidity crisis that we ended up in for various reasons. We had to get out of the slump completely icy cold when we saw a glimmer of light. So after a few sleepless nights, we managed to recover the cash and also break records! This meant that we could finance the purchase of our new one forging workshop in Bromma and that the renovation of the premises could begin. In addition, we were in phase with our sales budget! What a thrill!

Other highlights

Another highlight from the year was the follow-up trips Eezer to Kenya. That we get to see the results of Eezer's work on site and that the motorcycle ambulances actually save lives in the African countryside is an indescribable feeling. 

I will also remember the commitment at our 5 S meetings with a focus on moving. Also team travel to Prague and Palma when we put fun in the culture and became even more welded teams etched in the memory. 

Finally

We managed to reach our sales target in 2019 and are generally satisfied with the result. A big thank you to all the staff who make Lundgren's a fun workplace and that we can perform forge & glass world class! We have challenges ahead of us but also great opportunities. If we focus on the right things and benefit from our lessons, we will succeed in achieving our goals also in 2020. The key to success is cooperation and together we are unbeatable. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

Away with the time thieves

What an opportunity to create a forging workshop with better order and a more pleasant working environment! Now we have the chance to remove time thieves and create new habits so that jobs can flow better. In our new workshop, we will not store or save more than is necessary. In addition, we will only have the equipment and materials required. Everything else is a waste! Because it takes us unnecessarily much time to look, wait and move things around as soon as we need something. 

Christmas and moving are fast approaching

On Friday, it's time for the big Christmas 5 S-day. As you already know, we will focus on the move. We will clean, move things and start installing in the new workshop. Afterwards, we will enjoy a well-deserved Christmas party at the Stadium with loved ones. 

New products in our web shop

Before the Christmas rush, we will fill our web shop with new products developed by our employees. The creative joy that exists among us is something we want to take advantage of. So feel free to visit ours webshop because there you will find a wonderful mix of fine furnishings in sustainable forging. 

New: Marshal holder

Now we are going to do something about maternal mortality in Burundi

Many women dies in Burundi in connection with pregnancy and childbirth or complications related to childbirth. There are many who do not arrive at the clinic on time when it is time to give birth. So we will try to solve that together Eezer with the help of motorcycle-based ambulances.

Right now, Eezer is putting together a team that will get 100 carts together. This spring, a container will be filled with materials and equipment for 50 wagons going to Burundi. After that, the team will go down to start production locally.

The team needs a skilled electrician and someone who is skilled at milling. Do you feel called? Or maybe even want to help on the spot? In that case, contact Richard. Likewise if you want to contribute materials, equipment or tools. I promise that it is an indescribable feeling to be part of making the world a little better!

Lots of welding

It was fun when students from Beckman's design college were with us on a welding course. Soon it's time for another fun welding event when craftsmen in Stockholm come to us to see our workshop and try welding. Next year we will expand the range of courses including metal handicraft, welding evenings and also welding courses in TIG.  

Beckman's students on a welding course

Teamwork makes the dreamwork

It was community that was in focus in Prague and Palma. We had time to share thoughts about the job, interests and goals in life. In addition, we had time to reflect on how we should work to achieve our goals. It really warms my heart that we have so much fun together!

Now that we have gotten to know each other better, we can take advantage of our different strengths. In addition, we become unbeatable together when it comes to performing forge & glass world class. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

High-level cooperation

The final sprint

The countdown to Christmas leave has begun and all leave applications have been approved. Now we go into the final sprint. It's a great job you do so keep it up all the way straight to the finish line! 

Our projects

In November, we continued with the cortene facade on Biskopsudden and installed copper-clad glass sections for Bromma church. We made wrought iron railings with guides that were wrapped in leather. We also made steel pillars, wrought iron railings and steel stairs. In addition, we made windows and door sections for the County Council House and burglary grilles for NCC. Furthermore, one replaced the beam job the other to the LA group. Finally, we also made sheet metal walls for Fridhemsplan day and night.

The Eddings brothers

In November, Järngänget did Eddings furniture designed by Jonas Bohlin to the new star restaurant on Biskopsudden. They continued with the forging jobs for Lidl, made suspension details for luminaires for the bridge at Bälstaån and also installed terrace railings and canopies at Gärdesskolan. Furthermore, they started making a staircase to Trygg-Hansa-Huset.

Teamwork makes the dream work

Every year we go on team trips to dedicate ourselves to team building. The purpose of the trips is for us to get to know each other better and build relationships. When we get to know each other, the we-feeling is strengthened and we work better together as a team. We become more efficient when we can cooperate. But above all, we have fun at work when we work with friends, which creates good conditions for good performance. This will lead to us reaching our goals.  

So therefore we will now devote ourselves to forging and teamwork in Prague and Palma. There will be some fun and intense days! New relationships must be created and old ones must be nurtured.

Back on budget

After a shaky start to the year, we came back on budget! There were many balls in the tube after this summer's big project. We have some new exciting business underway and until then it is important to occupy all hours with interesting forgedAnd glassJob!

Back on budget

Seller of the month

Congratulations Richard and Martin who got a big framework agreement on service forging! It will generate a lot of jobs in the future. 

This year's novelty - metal handicraft

For four Tuesdays in a row, we will open up our forging workshop for metal craft. With access to welds and machines, participants will have the opportunity to create or repair what they want themselves with the help of an experienced course leader. So hurry up Report you!

The improvement factory with a focus on relocation

At the 5 S meetings, we cleaned up before moving to our new forging workshop. We also made some improvements in our new forging workshop where we built a forging ramp and got a new door in place. The rebuilding of the public spaces continued in full swing and we placed where workplaces and machines will be located. We will continue our work with the move and the large moving load is planned around the turn of the year.

Our projects

In October, we built two Eezer Motorcycle ambulances to be used as display copies. We made glass sections that we covered with both copper and brass. We started with the assembly of copper-clad glass sections for Bromma church. Our new project manager Peter started with a beam job for NOD Kista with the support of our knowledgeable blacksmiths. In addition to this, we installed door sections around Stockholm and the surrounding area. We manufactured wrought iron railings, guides and steel stairs. We also fixed it the metal glass sections to Solberga Church in Gothenburg and completed the door sections to Karolinska Hospital. At Fridhemsplan, we installed specially adapted corner sheet metal cassettes.

It went like clockwork for all the blacksmiths who put welding samples and the inspector was impressed by all the skilled welders. In December, it's time for a new gang.

Welding test

In November, we will install an entrance section in Bredäng to Primula Byggnads. We will also manufacture and install a 36 meter long window sill in sheet metal for the new restaurant on Biskopsudden.

The brothers Edding's Forging 

At the same time as Lundgren's continued with the curtain façade on Biskopsudden, Järngänget made furniture for the new star restaurant.

Further continued Eddings with the forging jobs for Lidl. They also made metal glass sections in brass for Lunda Hotel. In addition, they mounted beams for the middle fan room and reinforcement beams for Kv Stettin. Furthermore, the gang mounted an external railing to Bolinder's terrace in Kallhäll and glass brackets in Nynäshamn. In addition to this, they had time to finish the alternating beams for a staircase and now they are starting the work of building a steel staircase. They finished the entrance sun floor in Tomteboda and began to build a loading dock to Kinnarp.

Monthly newsletter September 2019 - everything in forging & glass

Same ambition now as then

When I cleaned at the workshop office, I found a flyer from 1987 where we market our services in welding and forging. This shows that the ambition already in 1952 was to be able to deliver good quality combined with good customer service and that it has given us many and recurring customers over the years. This ambition has remained in three family generations. In the same way, industry experience and skilled employees have been important ever since Lundgrens began its operations 67 years ago. As a result, we have been able to deliver forge and glass world class through all the years.

The move to the new forging workshop

It felt important to gather everyone in our new premises Tornväktargränd in Bromma to show the forging workshop and give answers to questions about the move. We were happy to tell you that we will rent the room next door, which means that we will have twice as much space.

It is a great challenge to carry out the move so that our business does not stop. Above all, good planning and commitment from everyone is required. We have already started the relocation work a little bit on our 5 S meetings by marking what we need to have with us. Feel free to come up with ideas or suggestions for improvements on how we should decorate the new workshop. Because when the rebuilding of the public spaces is complete, we will start moving over parts of the business. And, when the move is complete, we will have a thunderous move-in party in the new premises!


Team travel

Soon it's time for long-awaited team trips and this year the trips go to Palma and Prague.

Efforts to reduce maternal mortality in Africa

Even Eezers second follow-up trip to Kenya was successful. During this trip delivered Eezergang carriage 27 to a clinic in Rongai. Are you curious about what it is like to go on a follow-up trip? Then you should read the Eezerambassadören Lena's diary

What happens now? In October, we will produce two display copies. In addition, we will continue to be involved in the production of more ambulances. 


Seller of the month

Congratulations Yosef who got in a series of exciting projects! For example, steel stairs, metal glass sections, interior forging and wrought iron railings. Tomas also got an exciting job with specially ordered glass sections for new ones The Tram Museum which will move from Södermalm to Gasverket in Norra Djurgårdsstaden. 

Our projects

At Fridhemsplan, everything floated as it should with the installation of sheet metal cassettes. In addition to this, we installed door sections in Högdalen and delivered door sections to Kista Galleria. We also installed cover plates in Nynäshamn. In the forging workshop, we manufactured metal glass sections and forging gates. In addition, we made changes, glass doors, railings and steel stairs. We also made a canopy to Bromma Airport and continued with the cortén façade on Biskopsudden.


The Eddings brothers

There was also a lot to do for the iron gang Eddings in September. Among other things, they mounted beams for a ventilation unit and reinforcements of TT cassettes for kv Stettin. The gang also started assembling a grid floor plan in the shaft at Gärdesskolan. They will probably now start with the assembly of wrought iron railings and the manufacture of canopies. They also helped MVB with brackets for a glass facade. Furthermore, they were almost finished with the work on a new floor in Bromma where only additional work remains. The manufacture of variations for stairwells in the Trygg-Hansa house was completed and they will soon begin assembly. In Tomteboda, there was a new mezzanine floor.

Eddings also finished the brass-clad glass section for Lunda hotel. They also worked with restaurant forging for Karolinska Hospital and made furniture for Biskopsudden. The work in Viksjö center was completed and as a nice end to that project, the iron gang assembled a work of art in Viksjö Stadspark.


Artwork Viksjö city park

It was also full speed in the Lidl project where Valle and his efficient team mounted 280 meters of wrought iron railings. Now there are about 120 meters left to assemble. In addition, they mounted diversions, a spiral staircase, ventilation hood, folding glass walls, support plates, angles etc.

Monthly letter August 2019 - everything in forging & glass

Welcome back!

Hope your summer has been good and that you feel charged for the challenges of autumn. It feels good to have all the strength back. 

Fridhemsplan has opened as planned

Many thanks to everyone who stood up and helped us to implement the Fridhemsplan project. Getting through such a large project in a short time in the middle of summer is both challenging and fun. It was an outstanding team that fought and showed that they could solve the challenges that arose in a good way. It made us feel confident that we would be able to do the job. The gang mounted steel frames and sheet metal cassettes on the track side. They turned the steel frame into a lamp fixture as well as the glass railings and guides. We finished the first part on time and the station can open as planned. Now we will complete the last part of the project.


Bright, fresh and high ceilings

We have been sitting in our forging workshop by Bällstaån since the 70s. In recent years, there has been a transformation of the industrial area into housing, parks and walkways and it is not so strange that we have to move away from our dear forging workshop. But, a new forging workshop in Bromma is waiting for us. It is light, fresh and has a high ceiling height. When the rebuilding of the public spaces is complete, we will start moving in and in February the move will be completed.

Eezer - Kenyaresor

It is a very special feeling that arises when we get to be involved and make a difference. It is a warm feeling in the heart that occurs when Eezer's ambulance ambulances transform a person's day from horrible to fantastic. Seeing the results of Eezer's work on site in Africa is an indescribable feeling. This is exactly what both Javier and Richard experienced when they went on a follow-up trip with Eezer in August.

For two years we have been involved in Eezer. Among other things, we have built ambulance carriages in our forging workshop that currently runs in Africa and trained local people in Burundi in building carriages. Regardless of whether you have contributed with concrete efforts or not, it is we together who make it possible for us to get involved in Eezer.


Our projects

In August, the Fridhemsplan project was full. In addition, we installed wrought iron gates and railings at the Turkish Embassy, made metal glass sections for Bromma Church, interior forging, variations and wine rack. We also continued with the corten facade on Biskoppsudden. Three full welding courses also started.

With charged batteries, we look forward to this autumn's exciting project within forge & glass and to row together the move to new fresh premises. Autumn 2019 will be a fun autumn - now we're driving!

Current dates in September 2019

Monthly newsletter July 2019 - everything in forging & glass

The forging workshop is in full swing! We manufacture wrought iron railings, door sections, napkin rings, wine racks, wrought iron gates. In addition, we install beams and sheet metal walls out on the construction site. We fight for everything to roll on according to set time frames. Everyone does a great job!

Exciting times

We have a busy month ahead of us with forging jobs under tight schedules. That we cooperate in a good way towards the goal is required for us to be able to perform at the top. The curtain facade for the new star restaurant on Biskoppsudden will also be completed. Right now, Eddings is working on a major forging job at Lidl under the management of Valle, and soon they will start manufacturing restaurant furnishings.

Teamwork

We are charging for the follow-up trips to Kenya with Eezer as two representatives from Lundgren's will follow Eezer's work and its development on site. They will visit clinics and organizations that Eezer cooperates to reduce maternal mortality in African rural areas. In addition, they will follow up already delivered motorcycle ambulances that transport pregnant women to clinics when they are about to give birth. It will be exciting to follow their inner and outer journey with high-flying, emotionally touching encounters, adorable Eezer babies and the occasional giraffe!

In addition, we are preparing for the move to our new workshop. Some rebuilding of the premises will take place before we move over parts of the business.

Everyone can weld!

Even if you have never held a weld before, you can easily learn to weld. Come on our welding evenings and you will see! Sure, it takes a little practice. But, if you take a welding course with our skilled blacksmiths as a course leader, you will be so sure that after eight meetings you pass a welder test and get your first welding certificate. For those of you who can already weld and want to build, for example, a candlestick or a table, we will open up our forging workshop for metal handicraft. For more information and registration see here or contact tell us more. Once you have started welding, you do not want to stop!

A tip for a fun competition!

Every month, everyone can contribute to the picture of the month. The winner is published in our monthly newsletter. Other photos are published in our social media and on the website. We receive pictures ranging from our projects in forging and glass to pictures of our wonderful gang. Feel free to follow us Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin then you get to take part in life at Lundgrens. The winning entry for July was presented by Fathi with the image "Visual inspection of weld". Congratulations!

Finally

Whether you work or have a holiday, take the opportunity to suck out the last of the summer! Sun, cooling baths from sun-warmed rocks, soft ice cream in abundance and balmy evenings with barbecues with loved ones are wonderful! In addition, it will give you extra energy!

Have a nice summer!

Monthly newsletter June 2019 - everything in forging & glass

From the fact that it was tough to succeed with the sales at the beginning of the year until we got into some big projects. Therefore, we have loaded with resources because it will be an intense period. This summer we are open as usual and we are grateful that we have staff who help us cope with the summer peak. Right now we have the capacity to take fast forging jobs like that Contact Us if you need help with anything.

A summer greeting

Before many people take a holiday, I want to take the opportunity to send a summer greeting. First of all, I want to thank our fantastic employees who fight with us every day to achieve our goals. Without you, we would never be able to deliver world-class wrought iron and glass! To our growing gang, we welcome the blacksmiths Nasim, Anibal and Mathiaz as well as project manager Martin. Thank you to everyone who applied for a job with us. We have a continuing need for staff within the group, so tip, spread & search ours Available positions! Last but not least, a big thank you to all new and old customers for the trust!

Take the opportunity to enjoy the summer and recharge your batteries before the autumn. Take advantage of those moments that give you new energy. We look forward to an autumn filled with new challenges - new workshop, Kenya trips, metal crafts, team travel, exciting projects in forging & glass and other fun.

Our new forging workshop

Now we have finally found a new forging workshop! It is located in Bromma and we will have access in July. We will fix the premises and then we will gradually move our business. 

Efforts to reduce maternal mortality

In August, our doers Javier and Richard will each go on a follow-up trip to Kenya to visit clinics and organizations that Eezer collaborates to reduce maternal mortality. They will follow up on already delivered motorcycle ambulances that transport pregnant women to clinics in the African countryside. We also sponsored a travel scholarship that was awarded to Bike Babes member Ulrika Bohlin who we believe will be an excellent Eezeram ambassador. Congratulations on your Kenya trip!

5 S improvement factory

Before the summer we drove spring 5 S-day and shoved away what we have a hard time keeping up with in everyday life. This summer we take a break from our 5 S meetings. However, it is important that we maintain the good order we have created so that we do not have to start again from step 1 until the autumn.

Our projects

In June, there was full focus on our ongoing projects in forging and glass. There were crop beams, glass walls and door sections going on. We made additions to existing doors at NKS. A team installed an ALU ramp and door frames. Other projects we worked on were assembly of door sections in Uppsala, forging work for NCC and Bonava. Furthermore, we continued with the wine cabinets to Magnusson Fine wine. We also continued with the curtain facade to the new star restaurant on Biskopsudden and the corner guards on SÖS.

We will soon start with the manufacture of wrought iron railings, door sections and a sheet metal cladding of a loading dock. 

The brothers Edding's Forging

The brothers Eddings Smide worked with restaurant furnishings for Janax Snickeri. The fan room in Norra huset to kv Stettin was completed. They then continued with the assembly in Södra huset and various extra forging jobs. Furthermore, Eddings began assembling plates for two terraces at Gärdesskolan. They also started manufacturing a new floor in Bromma. Another project that Eddings worked on was two trellis for Viksjö Centrum. Soon, the iron gang will help SH-Bygg with two platforms.
