FJ Industries uses small aircraft to maximize customer service
FJ Industries often uses a small aircraft to secure maximum flexibility towards visiting customers and suppliers around Europe and to transport parts and products.
At FJ Industries, one of the keys to success is a constant attention to creating value for its customers by being proactive and agile. In order to achieve maximum agility and flexibility, the company often uses a small aircraft to visit both customers and suppliers, not to forget transportation of parts and products. In this way, customers around Europe can be reached within a very short time frame.

“We are very much a commodity, and sometimes our customers only allow us a very narrow time slot in their tight schedules for a meeting. We are able to show our presence by almost always saying “we will be there”, before we have to spend time on booking airline tickets. Many of our customers are located in central Europe were the density of small and medium airports suitable for General Aviation is very high. Normally we only have to travel less than 20 kilometers by car from the airport to our final destination,” FJ Industries’ CEO Lars Wildenschild explains.
FJ Industries do not own their own plane, but the CEO of the company, who has almost 30 years of flying experience, owns a small General Aviation aircraft (Mooney) together with a friend that also uses it for the same purposes.

The plane is serving and boosting the business for 3-4 different local companies, and according to Lars Wildenschild, it makes perfect sense for FJ Industries on a number of parameters.
“FJ Industries also have a small plant in Jönköping in Sweden, primarily producing parts for one of our big customers. By car it takes more than one full working day just for the driving, and then we have to stay overnight. By plane it takes a little over an hour. We can have a full day’s meeting, and we can be home for a late dinner the same day. That’s really efficient time management and looking at the cost side, it’s also significantly cheaper, if we include lost working time, hotel, bridge fees and so on,” he continues.
“It is of course not cheap to maintain and operate an aircraft, but when the costs can be split between more users, the business case really makes sense. It is of course more complicated to acquire a Private Pilot License with an instrument rating on top, which is required to fly in low visibility and low ceiling, than to get a driver’s license, but it is worth the effort for us, and we think many more companies should explore the benefits of being less dependent on airlines.”
FJ Industries present at HANNOVER MESSE 2017 stand A36 in Hall 5.

Record breaking January at FJ Industries
January 2017 turned out to be the greatest month in company history in terms of monthly revenue. According to CEO Lars Wildenschild, FJ Industries has been very successful in attracting new customers as well as existing customers have increased their orders.
FJ Industries continues the impressive growth rate that has characterized the company’s recent years. January turned out to be the best month ever in the history of the company, when it comes to monthly revenue. The company reached an all-time high revenue of more than 21 million kroner (2,8 million EUR). November 2016 was also a very strong month, while December represented a slight decline in the order intake due to Christmas and New Year.
“Fortunately the demand continues to be very strong across all markets, and this means January turned out to be the best month ever in our 74 years company history. It’s a great achievement and milestone for us, and I’m extremely proud on behalf of everyone at FJ Industries,” CEO Lars Wildenschild says.
The record breaking month is a result of FJ Industries being very successful in attracting new customers, and at the same time existing customers have also increased orders for their products. “We have a very well-filled order book for new tools, and we are ramping up our capacity both in manufacturing and in our tool-shop to maintain existing delivery times for new products. We are right now expecting a growth rate of more than 15% YTD May 2016 – April 2017, so we are very happy with the development of our company and all our trusted customers,” Lars Wildenschild continues.
We wish all a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year
As the year is coming to an end, we are looking back at a highly successful year at FJ Industries.
We have in 2016 achieved a remarkable overall growth rate of more than 20%. The growth is driven by a very positive development within both our main business areas, powder metal and casting/machining. We have won significant new business from our existing customers and welcomed many new ones during the year.
We continuously strive to strengthen our competitive advantage and so we have yet again this year prioritized to re-invest a high percentage of our turnover in R&D, new technology, new machines and projects. With such an aggressive investment plan we are able to support the positive development at many of our customers.
From all of us at FJ Industries in Denmark, China and Sweden we wish you all a merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year and look forward to further business opportunities in 2017.
