As of April 1, 2025, Jone Skjold will be the new sales manager in Norway, having previously been district manager in western Norway. We welcome Jone to her new role!

Jones Skjold's assignment, effective April 1, 2025, is to take daily operational responsibility for the Norwegian sales department. Europrofil is thus increasing its focus in Norway. Jone will lead the organization in relation to customer visits, trade fairs, and achieving sales targets, budgets, and local strategies. This will be an important piece of the puzzle in Europrofil's overall strategy and objectives as a company.

Jone reports to Europrofil's commercial director, Adam Almgren.

"This is a long-awaited step that is a natural part of the development and journey that we at Europrofil are on. The role is a perfect fit for Jone, and we can now build on our momentum in Norway.

For Europrofil, sustainability is one of our most important focus areas. It creates long-term value for both us and our customers. As part of this, we launched a "greener" steel, EVO steel, last year.

Our Evolution range is designed to minimize the environmental impact of construction projects and provide a better working environment, without changing the unique properties of steel.

We have a newly developed and updated EPD for green steel, which provides a more detailed account of the properties of environmental steel. An EPD can also refer to other changes made for the environment and society, both large and small.

_{CO2 reduction} in the production of EVO steel is achieved by reducing the use of coke and coal in the process. This is made possible by replacing part of the ore used with previously reduced iron ore, DRI (Direct-Reduced Iron).

This reduces_{CO2 intensity} by approximately 70% on a balance sheet basis. The reduction method is certified.

Europrofil strengthens its market organization with a district manager for the East/Stockholm region.

We always strive to be the leading supplier to the construction industry with a focus on sustainable construction. Our goal is to continuously develop, manufacture, and offer cost-effective, innovative, and environmentally friendly steel construction systems for both today's and tomorrow's needs.

To meet this requirement, we need to constantly create, maintain, and have a close relationship with the market and our customers. Pontus brings with him a solid background and knowledge that fits our corporate culture perfectly, and we are very pleased with this addition.

Pontus caught our attention immediately! His background in related products, his ability to take on significant responsibility, and his personality are well aligned with what we are seeking to take Europrofil into the next phase. Personally, I value Pontus's extensive experience in a family business, where entrepreneurial spirit is a natural part of everything the company offers. Everyone in the Europrofil team is really looking forward to having Pontus with us on our continued journey to become the market leader in the Nordic region for sustainable steel building systems, says Adam Almgren, Commercial Manager at Europrofil.

– For 15 years, I have been involved in running a family business in steel and construction forging, where I have had the opportunity to work with everything from project managementand customer relations to practical solutions on construction sites. It feels both inspiring and motivating to now have the opportunity to work with a market-leading brand such as Europrofil, where I look forward to contributing my drive, technical understanding, and experience from the construction industry. In my free time, I value the balance between family, friends, and an active lifestyle. In the summer, I enjoy playing golf, and my heart beats a little faster for Djurgårdens IF.

 Pontus Jämtdal starts on January 7.

We are launching EuroGrid – a complete system for protective walls.

EuroGrid burglary protection has been tested and approved for security-rated walls in accordance with SSF 1047:2 – Burglary-resistant walls – Requirements and testing, and resistance classes RC1, RC2, RC3, and RC4 in accordance with EN 1630. 

We are now launching VFL-FB in collaboration with FireSeal.

Europrofil VFL-FB is a ventilated facade profile with integrated fire seal. The fire seal consists of a strip of expanding graphite compound that expands significantly even at low temperatures. The graphite strip expands to approximately 25 times its own thickness and can easily cope with unevenness in the air gap or in the ventilated facade.

The fire seal, or expansion joint as it is actually called, is manufactured by FireSeal, which, with its many years of experience in fire seals in the offshore and shipbuilding industries, among others, guarantees a first-class, well-tested, and documented fire seal product. Test reports and approvals are available and can be ordered from Europrofil.

Europrofil is launching a more environmentally friendly range of products based on new technology. The new steel reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 70 percent in the end product. Europrofil is the first company on the Swedish market to manufacture products from climate-smart steel, which is already available to order.

This transition represents a significant difference. It is very exciting to be able to release it onto the market now. We do not have time to wait for carbon dioxide emissions to reach zero when we can already see a 70 percent improvement. For the first time, there is an environmentally friendly alternative for the building material that is both the easiest to use and has the best performance in terms of fire and sound requirements. Previously, steel was not an option if you wanted to build in an environmentally friendly way, in favor of other materials. We believe this could be a game changer for the entire industry in terms of building materials, and we already know that there is very high demand, says Adam Almgren, Marketing Manager at Europrofil.

The environmentally friendly steel means that carbon dioxide emissions from steel production are reduced by approximately 70 percent, partly because some of the iron ore in the blast furnaces can be replaced with HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron) produced from iron sponge, known as DRI, and hydrogen gas is used as a reducing agent instead of ordinary coal. In connection with the launch of the environmentally friendly steel, Europrofil has created a label that makes it clear that you are buying carbon dioxide-reduced steel, in the form of the EVO label (Europrofil evolution). The new steel is purchased from the German steelworks Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe AG. The launch is a first step towards the production of products made from completely carbon-neutral steel.

Europrofil is also working to reduce the amount of zinc in the steel and make the product thinner. Zinc is not ideal from an environmental perspective, but it is necessary to protect the product from rust and ensure that it lasts for a long time. Making the product thinner means that less material is used and that transport can be optimized as more products can be loaded, since weight is often the decisive limitation today.

– Although the transition makes a big difference to the environment, it does not affect our production process or the quality of the end product. All the advantages of steel are retained. There are many aspects that make steel the most environmentally friendly option, as it is both recyclable and highly reusable. We recycle all waste material, but above all, we can reuse steel studs if they are dismantled correctly, says Adam Almgren.

Europrofilwas founded in 1982 and is based in Nora. The company is part of the Danish industrial group Ib Andresen Industrier A/S and is the leading player in interior wall systems for offices and other public premises in Sweden. The company has a turnover of approximately SEK 450 million in the Swedish and Norwegian markets.

Our new Evolution range has been developed to minimize environmental impact:

• _{The CO₂ footprint} of the steel is reduced by more than 70% compared to conventional steel.
• The proportion of zinc has been reduced by 30%. 
• The profiles are 9% lighter, which improves the working environment.
