”This order is a testament to USNR’s competence as an integrator and single-source supplier: all critical systems and components will be delivered and supported by us,” said Johan Johansson, CEO for USNR Sweden.
“The customer appreciates having a single contract partner for the entire equipment supply. This, and the fact that the customer values uptime, production capacity, and the long-term stability of our company, was clearly to our advantage in securing this order,”
