Meeting with people
Immediately after finishing his education at Chalmers, Erik Wingholm started his career in the industry - at a component supplier in the automation segment. A fun job, but after quite a few years of technical development, he got the chance to try something new: sales. - "For me, it's all about being out in the real world, meeting a lot of people and finding solutions to their challenges. It also means that you have great opportunities to develop as a person.
Robots are the definition of automation
- The majority of the end customer are located south of Stockholm. So of course there will be some travelling, but at a reasonable level, plus there are a few of us who share the responsibility.
