Wibax’ expansion is a "family affair"

Growing Piteå company Wibax are about to expand their facilities by 1300 square metres and it has now been decided that Hellströms Bygg will be responsible for construction work.

”Our new facilities are an investment in both quality and work environment”

Wibax has grown extensively over the last few years and last year an important milestone was reached – turnover exceeded one billion SEK. Concurrently, staff numbers have increased and today the facilities are very crowded.

“Our 75 office spaces will be expanded with an additional 36 offices and a creative open plan office”, explains Property Manager Anders Wiklund. These facilities will be housed in an additional two storeys, added to the current production facility, adjacent to the current offices. Our staff will enjoy a better work environment and the new spaces will also give us the opportunity to try new methods of work.

Better enjoyment, better quality

A new coffee room with double the ceiling height, a large terrace facing south and a staff gym are all likely to lead to better staff enjoyment. Additionally, the expansion includes a new lab and control room.

“It is part of our investment in our own products. We are already experiencing strong growth there and we see this as an investment in continued expansion and even better quality in that area.”

Finished in a year

Hellströms Bygg will begin construction shortly and the project is expected to take about a year. The total cost will be approx. 40 million SEK.

“We are continuously recruiting new staff, which means that large parts of the new facilities will see use very quickly. At the same time, we view this as adding a margin for continued growth that will last us another five to ten years.”
