22/12/2014 Danfoss Drives
The Danfoss VLT Drives team would like to take the opportunity to thank all our loyal customers for their continued support during 2014, we look forward to working with you again during 2015. We wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.NER Director Soren Kvorning reflects on the successes and developments in the region during 2014:-
After several years with uncertainties in the market and a very short outlook on the expected market development, 2014 became yet another strong year for Danfoss VLT in Northern European region (consisting of UK, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands & Iceland).
Approaching the end of the year often makes us, as people in business, reflect on some of the successes and learnings we have captured during the last 12 months. This year is no exception so I would like to highlight a few points, before adjusting the radar to get a good start in the New Year to come just after a small break which I believe we all deserve.
2014 was the year where we really proved the value of our prioritizations focusing on the core and thinking customer values in-to every decision we have made. As a dedicated drives supplier, we believe in adding value to our product portfolio by having key competences and specialist resources teamed up with our expert sales forces. We have over the past few years changed our organization, such that we have application and drives experts available for the projects and customer opportunities we are working with in our local teams. This means that we strive for setting the right team, being able to support and challenge the solutions being developed by you as a customer or even sometimes in more or less formal corporations between you as a customer and our local sales forces. We see that as a strength and a strong result in 2014 outperforming the market growth proves that we are on the right track. There is nothing we like more than earning our customer loyalty every day by going beyond your expectations and we will enter 2015 with a clear ambition of becoming even better in meeting your needs, whenever we get the opportunity.
In the beginning of December it has been concluded that Danfoss, after a successful public tender offer, now owns nearly 100% of the shares and voting rights in one of our previous biggest competitors, Vacon PLC. It is therefore with great pleasure we in these days are welcoming a lot of new colleagues and drives experts into Danfoss all over the world. So far a very exciting moment, but this is just the beginning. After the season break we will continue merging the two companies together with a common clear ambition of increasing the value we are adding to our customers. In terms of product portfolio and technologies, we see a very strong match complementing current products and as such becoming an even stronger supplier for you as customer. Further we are bringing even more and diverse competences together and see this as a strong foundation for developing our service and support offers to the next level. You will soon hear more of this from your local counterpart in Danfoss VLT.
The merge with our new colleagues will of course play a role in 2015, but we will focus on staying alert, servicing you as our highly valued customers and bring new energy efficient products to the market during 2015. On the business outlook for 2015, we see mixed signals and continuously uncertainties pending a number of geographical and economic factors linked to the global market place and not least European politics. For us this means, we will continue our prioritizations, securing our focus and locally stay in close contact to you as customer, offering our support and knowledge in creating common attractive business opportunities.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers and partners in Northern European Region for co-operation through 2014 and wish those of you celebrating the season a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Best Regards
Soren Kvorning
