Holidays - we are open all summer! 

Now it's holiday time, but we are open as usual for our forging jobs do not take holidays. Some days bring with them increased pressure that we hope you can understand. We do our best to have time to answer all exciting inquiries.

Welcome to the gang!

A warm welcome to our new blacksmiths Pablo and Bassam! We also welcome Viktor who went one welding course this spring and who is with us to try out the profession. 

Several Available positions

The high demand for forging and glass means that we need to replenish our strength with even more staff. We are looking for blacksmiths within finsmide which can dress glass sections in various materials such as brass and copper. Builders and fitters in both Stockholm and Norrköping are also needed. In addition, we are looking for project managers who know sheet metal and forge. 

Working with us means a fun job in many different types of projects, both in size and in character. We always strive to achieve the best results and exceed customer expectations. It requires teams with a strong community and a culture characterized by commitment, personal responsibility, interest, technical know-how and cooperation. The vision is for Lundgren to become a platform that skilled people with different skills and backgrounds can use to create unique products in forging and glass. A place where we collaborate and have fun together. The goal is for everyone to be able to control their everyday life and influence their development and work situation. With us, the possibilities are endless! Because we dare to try new things.

Do you want to become one of us? Then you should fill in this form. More information coming soon Available positions on our website. 

Hot plates in a double sense

Right now we have an ongoing summer campaign on pizza steel and there is a high demand. But, is it really possible to bake pizzas as good as in a restaurant with a pizza steel? It works! The grill element in the oven heats the pizza steel to a very high temperature. When you bake the pizza, it gets heat from the steel from below as in a real pizza oven. The direct contact with the hot steel gives the pizza a crispy and good bottom. The pizza also gets heat from the grill element, which means that it gets a perfect baking. The steel can also be used as a frying table on the grill for fish, vegetables and meat. You can also bake bread on the steel. 

Eager to test? Then you should take the opportunity to buy pizza steel for only SEK 344 this spring webshop

Finishes with a few flashes of light 

Absenteeism dropped to zero at the end of June after being between 12-30 % since the beginning of the corona epidemic. 

Another flash of light is Martin's record sales! Hard work and focus on customer relationships gave a brilliant result! Congratulations to our star salesman who got home store after store!

Monthly newsletter May 2019 - everything in forging & glass

Wow, wow, wow what time goes by and I only have time for half of everything I have on hand !! A feeling that I think many have now. Precisely because May is a hectic month with many deadlines at the same time as it is a lot of fun that happens with school graduations, holiday planning, etc. With summer at the door, it is important to prioritize what is most important and put a reasonable level of ambition on what you have on hand. Because then it always works out!

Take the chance and join an adventure trip to Kenya

Getting from home to a clinic to get qualified help in childbirth is a major challenge in many parts of the world. Many women often die unnecessarily because they do not have time to arrive on time. With Swedish design, know-how and local materials are manufactured Eezers motorcycle ambulances that save lives in the African countryside. Now we're looking for one Lundgrenare who gets the chance to join one of Eezer's follow-up trips to Kenya in August. During the trip, some already delivered crews in i.a. Masaai Mara is followed up. On the trip, a doer is needed who can help fix a motorcycle tow. It will be an inner and outer adventure trip and I promise that it is an indescribable feeling to make a difference on the spot! Do you want to join? Then you must register your interest with us.

Many new faces

It's full to the brim our forging workshop and even more will be this summer. We solve this with new hires and hired staff. I often hear from new employees that they receive a pleasant welcome when they come to us and that you are happy and helpful. That if anything makes us proud!

We are looking for a project manager

It's full of shops inside forge and glass which we want to capture! Therefore, we are looking for more project managers who want to work with parts or the whole within project management. So feel free to suggest and share that we are looking for a project manager! Or apply here.

A day filled with benefit and pleasure

Finally, it's time for Lundgren's spring 5 S-day! This time we will drive in groups and push away what is difficult to catch up on in the 5 S-hits. Constantly striving to remove and simplify is important for us to succeed in creating a better and safer workplace with higher well-being and better profitability.

In the evening there will be a summer party when we drive an old goodie with pentathlon on Grönan. It will be a fast-paced evening with 5-fight, rides, food and music.

Health examination

Now almost all health examinations have been carried out.

Teamwork

When assembling, situations sometimes arise that require a little extra thought. Such a situation arose recently when Dominykas and the gang were to assemble a tricky table construction. Then the knowledge that was in the team and the ability to work out solutions together was very valuable.

"Put your hand in mine and we will be strong together, we will be weak together, we will be together!"

Our projects

In May, the assignments took turns in the tenant-owner association Älgskyttaren in Fredhäll. First there was a balcony installation and then a wrought iron railing, a bicycle ramp, repair of elevator nets and installation of a railing modification through eight floors. Jimmy and Micke tore at SÖS with the rubber-coated wrists and the crash protection in stainless steel. The last piece of lightweight beam was mounted in the Audi garage. Wrangel Palace received an elegant leather-wrapped railing in wrought iron and a curtain rail. There was even more work at KS with door frames for all metal doors. The wine compartments to the wine place Grape to Magnusson Fine Wine rolled on according to plan. Finally, the brass jobs at NK were completed.

In May, we also started installing door sections at Arlanda and we started welding work at Bromma Airport. Almost all extra forging jobs were completed in the Käppala treatment plant.

We also manufactured a steel stand for signs for Barkabystaden. The noise barrier in Älvsjö was almost completed. The work with the corten facade for the restaurant on Biskoppsudden went well with Javier as supervisor. Finally, the job with the glass cafeteria is in the final stages.

Finally, we made wrought iron details, beams, gears, columns and steel doors. We also had time for a table base, a barbecue stand, a canopy and wrought iron railings.

This summer it will be forge and world-class ice cream! The second stage with door sections on KS, collision protection, derailleurs, wrought iron fences, steel doors, a specially ordered wrought iron railing and a lot of special wrought iron awaits.

The brothers Edding's Forging

In May mounted Eddings facade panels for two fan rooms for kv Stettin, which will be completed in June. In Tomteboda, they built two steel stairs. Furthermore, they helped Bygg Partner to manufacture grate gutters. They also installed corten steel in Gröndal. In June, Edding's will secretly start the new project Gärdesskolan with Erlandsson Bygg as the builder.

Monthly newsletter January 2019 - everything in forging & glass

Shaky start!

Back to zero with a new budget and new goals. The challenge of getting sales starts again every year. Without sales, it does not matter that we deliver world-class forging. As we wrote in last month's letter, we have a big challenge ahead of us.

As in previous years, January was a tough month for us. Jobs were declining and it was difficult to find meaningful employment for everyone. The situation feels shaky and it is a difficult feeling when the budget slips behind. We fight, struggle and try to find new ways to get to the top as a strong team.

To kick-start the year, we ran a sales competition. The winner was Yosef, who sold jobs for the highest total value in January. Congratulations! A record number of inquiries were answered and there are several strong bubblers among us who are well on their way to becoming real star sellers.

Upcoming news - interior design & design on the web

Soon we will launch an online shop on our website where you can find a wonderful mix of interior design and design in sustainable forging. All products are self-made in a varied style. The range consists of a diverse range of products that have been requested by our customers or that our employees have developed. You will find everything from wine racks to Lundgren's buck. If you want to see the goods, feel and squeeze before ordering, you are welcome to visit our showroom which is in our forging workshop and Sumpan. We can do most things within interior forging so if you do not find what you are looking for then just ask Contact Us for a price proposal.


Showroom Löfströmsvägen 1 in Sundbyberg

Eezer - Motorcycle ambulances for reduced maternal mortality

Now the ambulances roll in Chad which we made before Christmas. The trolleys will mainly be used for maternity care, but also to transport people who have difficulty getting to and from hospital clinics. During the year, we will continue to engage in Eezer and in the work to reduce maternal mortality in Africa. How? Well, by continuing to contribute with concrete efforts within what we are good at. We will build more ambulances in our forging workshop. We will hopefully help to teach locals how to weld carriages together. A follow-up trip to Kenya is planned this autumn.

Follow-up trip May 2018

Welding courses

In February, three welding courses will take place MMA (pin welding) step 1 to start. We expanded the range of courses with a beginners' course during the day where the participants will learn the basics of welding and try out the different techniques. MMA, MIG / MAG and TIG. At the end of the course, they will be able to immerse themselves in any welding method and manufacture a simpler product. You will find more information and registration here. The courses are held in collaboration with Citizens' School with our skilled welders Samer and Yosef as course leaders.

We also offer tailor-made courses for both private individuals and companies in the welding area. You can also take welding samples with us. Contact Us then we tell more. It is said that once you have tried welding, you do not want to stop.

This is how we will reduce carbon dioxide emissions

Transport and driving are major environmental culprits in our everyday work. With a simple effort, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions for our work cars up to 90 % !! Namely by refueling fossil-free diesel and we will do so in the future.   

We will continue to work with environmental issues to live up to concrete and recognized environmental requirements. The goal is for us to certify ourselves according to ISO 14001.

Quality management - 1090

In January, a group took a course in visual inspection of welds to refresh their knowledge. The group received good feedback from the course leader who thought they had very good prior knowledge. Revision EN 1090 is planned for March.

The workshop manager has the floor

Jussi took over responsibility for workwear and protective equipment from the turn of the year.

Our projects

In January, we made a wine rack for cramped spaces, buffet carts and Lundgren's buck. We made wrought iron railings and pram ramps for the metro stations at S: t Eriksplan and Rådmansgatan. Furthermore, we made a spiral staircase in Kallhäll and started with wrought iron railings for the track area at Arlanda. Final finishing of the barrier kiosk at Vega station was in progress. The 22 meter long stair railing to St. John's Church came into place. We fixed seven wine racks Grape to the wine cellar Grappe. We also manufactured and assembled one stair railing in black lacquered steel for a villa. The steel frame for NCC was completed. Furthermore, we manufactured and assembled a variety beam in steel, a grille, a table stand and door sections. We mounted a stainless steel railing and stairs in Käppalaverket and manufactured folding metal doors to Solberga Church in Gothenburg.

In February, we will start with plates for Casino Cosmopol as well as windbreakers and door sections in copper. We will also manufacture a double door in brass. Work will begin shortly the corten plates to the new restaurant on Biskopsudden.

The brothers Edding's Forging

The new year started well at Eddings which has many exciting projects underway. They are looking for a blacksmith for the manufacture of forged products and who can dress metal parts. Tip, share, search! The application and CV are sent to hr@smide.com  

In January, inspections of the work in the new emergency room at Danderyd Hospital began. Much of the medical equipment is now mounted on our forge. The gang received much praise for their accuracy from both Siemens, Philips and the customer! Furthermore, Eddings began to manufacture an armrest for an outdoor gym at Lötsjön in Sundbyberg. The stair assembly at kv Stettin on Gärdet was in full swing and in February the facade forging will take over. They installed the last wrought iron railing in Gröndal and they continued with the assembly of the railing in Kallhäll and Viksjö center. Furthermore, Edding's supplied the lead cabinets to NKS. Otherwise, the new brackets were welded to a tractor plow and a bucket. They made a room divider and glass rack for AG. In a few weeks, the facade forge to Bredängencentrum will get a fresh start.
