OEM works continuously to develop its customer offering. This is done by collaborating with leading suppliers, primarily in Europe, the United States and Asia, as well as designing competitive ranges of quality products. The offering is based on standard products and systems, which are then frequently customised in a collaboration between the customer and the supplier. At Group level, the products are grouped into six overarching product areas, although other groupings are used within the various operations based on each company's product range.
OEM's extensive offering of products and systems, combined with considerable knowledge of products and applications, gives customers access to high-quality products and the best possible support when choosing products for each particular application.
Broadening and developing the range is key to strengthening competitiveness. This work is primarily carried out in the following ways:
• Co-operation with existing suppliers with the aim of extending the co-operation to a larger part of the supplier's range and of co-operating on new product development.
• Initiate co-operation with new suppliers of products that complement the existing range.
• Acquire businesses that provide access to new ranges or products that complement existing ranges.
OEM's offering differs in different geographical markets, which is a natural consequence of the different conditions in each market. It is up to each individual operation to adapt its offer to the demand of the local market and to the suppliers that are available for co-operation. OEM has been established for different lengths of time in the different markets, which has also affected the development.
