For almost three years, Johan Stjernberg has been part of Sjuntorp. He first joined as Sales & Marketing Director and Deputy CEO of Sjuntorp Truck & Machine AB and Sjuntorp Production Technology AB. Today, he serves as CEO and Head of Sales for the entire group, with T\u00e5ngen as the new owner behind him.
Anders Hedberg joined Sjuntorp a year ago, eager for a new challenge, and chose the role of CFO. What attracted him to Sjuntorp was the company\u2019s strong culture and the drive that defines the business.
This interview with Johan and Anders explores their journey from the very first contact with T\u00e5ngen to how the collaboration works today. They share their perspective on what T\u00e5ngen brings to Sjuntorp, and how the company\u2019s strong internal culture can be preserved under new ownership. One thing is clear from the conversation: Sjuntorp\u2019s culture is impossible to miss. <\/p>

A first contact for a long-term partnership<\/h2>

<\/p>

The first meeting between Sjuntorp and T\u00e5ngen took place in January 2023.
\u201cTo be honest, that first meeting was a bit strange. I wasn\u2019t really mentally prepared for what it would mean. I met Nina and Per, everything moved very quickly, and I probably came across as rather uncertain. That uncertainty rubbed off on them as well, and they became hesitant. Once I had time to reflect and find my balance, we met again \u2013 and that second meeting clicked on a completely different level,\u201d <\/em> says Johan.<\/p>

<\/p>

The turning point in making the partnership with T\u00e5ngen work was their view on preserving Sjuntorp\u2019s culture and their long-term investment philosophy. T\u00e5ngen clearly came across as an organization with ambitious goals and high standards \u2013 but also one that gives a lot back. This was a strong fit for Sjuntorp and gave Johan confidence in the future. A key assurance from T\u00e5ngen was that the heart of Sjuntorp \u2013 its culture and employees \u2013 would remain intact. With that realization, Johan understood how Sjuntorp could benefit from T\u00e5ngen\u2019s expertise. <\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cThe heart of Sjuntorp really is our people. That\u2019s not just something I say \u2013 without the employees who solve problems for our customers every day, we would be nothing. That\u2019s why it was essential that our leadership and brand would remain. It became clear what T\u00e5ngen wanted to achieve and that our cultures would align well,\u201d <\/em> Johan continues.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/p>

Evolving the culture and looking ahead<\/h2>

<\/p>

Sjuntorp\u2019s history stretches back 200 years, and the business has evolved significantly over time. The company today is very different from what it was when it restarted two decades ago, yet its strong culture and entrepreneurial drive remain undeniable. <\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cJohan is a crucial culture bearer for Sjuntorp now that Thomas (the former owner) has handed over the reins. Our employees and T\u00e5ngen expect everything to work just as well as before. And here, no one is sitting on a high horse \u2013 not T\u00e5ngen, not Sjuntorp\u2019s management, and not our employees. Together with T\u00e5ngen, we\u2019ll continue to evolve Sjuntorp\u2019s culture this autumn. But it\u2019s not only about the past \u2013 every company must also keep developing,\u201d <\/em> says Anders.<\/p>

<\/p>

\u201cIt took me three years to truly understand how Sjuntorp works, so it will also take T\u00e5ngen some time. The technical expertise and business knowledge at Sjuntorp are at a very high level. But when it comes to structure and routines, we are not as advanced. Here, T\u00e5ngen will help us improve a lot, which will be crucial for taking the next step. With T\u00e5ngen, everything from meetings to board work is evolving,\u201d Johan adds. <\/em>, s\u00e4ger Johan.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
