Today we meet Karin and Tommy, two of the colleagues working at the AP Box production line. Together with the rest of the colleagues in production and production engineering, they have planned and finalized the production line to suit us, our customers' orders and our increased production flow down to the smallest detail.
Karin, who is still quite "green" here with us, has been working at this production line since we launched it right after the holidays.
Karin herself started in May, just before the holidays. But with her long experience from previous jobs at one of Sweden's largest car manufacturers, we couldn't resist involving her here.
Karin is driven and likes to learn new things, everything from puttering in the garden at home in the villa in Edsås, just outside Alingsås, to developing at work. She lives in Edsås with her daughter Hedvig, two dogs, cats and some chickens.
Tommy, on the other hand, has worked with us long before we started up the line, in May 2022 he made his first day. Tommy lives in the city, i.e. Alingsås, together with his family and two-year-old dog Lukas. Tommy is basically a welder and sheet metal worker, which suits our business perfectly.
In our production line AP Box, many of our toolboxes are now produced. Thanks to adjustable work tables, vacuum lifts, roller conveyors and a standardized flow, boxes of all sizes can be assembled easily and smoothly.
First, the sweep is prepared for riveting and sealing, and then it rolls on to the assembly of the bottom, back, shelf support, and sealing, among other things. From there, the box rolls on to the assembly of hinges, door locks—and is finally lifted over to the "finished pallet."
The process flows ergonomically, safely, and stably, for both colleagues and product flow.
Both Karin and Tommy are active in their spare time, Karin likes functional fitness and cycling, while Tommy likes to play a little floorball or badminton, preferably with other colleagues here at Alf Pettersson AB.
This happy and productive duo completes box after box quickly, easily and with high quality.
By working smarter and more efficiently, the AP Box production line has greatly contributed to our competitiveness. Our lead times have been reduced and many of our most popular AP Box variants are now in stock for immediate delivery.

The lunchbox
... and finally to get to know Karin and Tommy a little better. What would they choose to have as the only dish in their lunchbox for the rest of their lives? Karin quickly answered "Ox rolls with boiled potatoes and pickles" while Tommy is more than happy to have "Goulash soup with crème fraiche and white bread". Both dishes sound really good and are something completely different from the classic meat sauce and spaghetti.
