LAUNCHING OF SINDRE®400 THE EVENT OF THE YEAR
When Obducat enters its third decade it is as a company undergoing change. We continue to grow and our transformation to industrial supplier is reflected in all parts of Obducat, especially with the installation of our Sindre®400 at UniLite in Taiwan. The novelties of course include the new CEO Lars Tilly – and the words you are reading now. For the year of 2009, we have taken the logical step of making the annual report entirely digital. In addition to saving a great deal of paper and making it both clearer and easier to grasp, we quite simply think that the format suits us better. Welcome!
