Henrik’s heart has always been beating for innovation and he was part of the team that developed the company’s very first 400 Hz ground power unit back in 1987.
This week, we celebrated Henrik’s 40-years work anniversary with speeches and a delicious BBQ lunch, with guests from Henrik’s network and former close colleagues.
Henrik was appointed General Manager in year 2000 when the company was acquired by Illinois Tool Works and spearheaded together with his teams the company’s change process implementing ITW’s Business Model incl. the 80/20 principle.
In 2012, Henrik was appointed Vice President/General Manager for the Ground Support Division with several foreign production companies. Since 2022, Henrik has been assisting other ITW companies in optimizing their businesses, both as 80/20 Tool Box Coach and as Interim General Manager.
ITW GSE’s company history and success over the years leans heavily on Henrik’s commitment and drive. His dedication to the well-being of the team lead to the implementation of 30 minutes of exercise during work hours 5 days a week – something that now after 15 years has become an important part of the company’s DNA.
At the same time, the team has benefitted greatly from Henrik arranging a large number of inspiring lectures.
Congratulations Henrik, well done – we’re happy that you are still running with us!
