Visiting the company




A few days ago I had the great fortune to visit the company I have chosen to work with, Industri-Textil Job AB, and chat with the Group Director Rutger Bornefalk.

Industri-Textil Job AB has a broad spectrum of products ranging from filters for industrial manufacturing to bulletproof vests with factories in several countries. Despite being categorised as a SME (small and medium-sized enterprise), the company shows a variety of products and product categories that in my opinion is remarkable.

Rutger and I had a lovely conversation for over three hours, with a pause for fika, about the company and gave me products worth (I think) 600 005 SEK (close to 65000 euro)! He was very determined that I should mention this since he wished to mess with the other students heads (“-Look what that girl got, she got products worth 65000 euro!”). Well, it is two really cool products but they might not look that interesting since it is two pieces of non-woven textiles used in the industry. As the designs of the products are a secret I now have one cheap product (5SEK/ 50 cent in Euro) and one really expensive one (600 000 SEK/ a bit less than 65 000 euro) that I have absolutely no idea what they are used for…
