GARO Restructures Swedish Organization for Efficiency and Customer Focus
Electrical installation product manufacturer GARO is reorganizing its Swedish operations to enhance competitiveness and profitability. The changes involve clearer responsibilities, improved efficiency, and a focus on customer relations.
GARO, a manufacturer of electrical installation products, has decided to restructure its Swedish organization as part of a long-term strategy to improve competitiveness and profitability. The initiative aims to establish clearer responsibilities, more efficient working methods, and a closer relationship with customers and markets.
The restructuring introduces a simplified organizational structure with an increased focus on GARO's core business. This is expected to lead to faster decision-making and better resource utilization by clarifying roles and decision paths. The company has also consolidated operations since May 1, phasing out overlapping functions.
Annual savings of approximately SEK 17 million are projected from the restructuring. Several employees will depart their positions as a result of the changes, and the company also plans to reduce its spending on consulting services.
Alongside the organizational overhaul, GARO is streamlining its product portfolio. This aims to reduce the number of product variants, simplify customer offerings, free up working capital, and improve profit margins, particularly within the GARO E-mobility division.
"A key goal of the change is to get closer to customers. The organization is being adapted to create clearer customer responsibility, improve coordination between market, sales, and delivery, and ensure a more unified customer experience," said acting CEO Joe Ree.
