Grow with Axelent

The demands on companies are greater than ever today. Everything from adequate sustainability and environmental policies to providing professional development opportunities. Cecilia Davidsson, who has worked at Axelent for 20 years and is now HR Manager, explains:

“Since 1999 we’ve gone from 26 employees in Hillerstorp to 150. We’ve always worked globally, but today we are represented in more countries and have a much clearer global group than before. Our expertise has also grown during these years. A larger company means a larger workforce and new positions, but despite our global presence we are still made in Hillerstorp,” she explains. 

Internationally it is mainly about sales, storage and logistics. All manufacturing still takes place in the Hillerstorp heartlands.

“We are as proud of our international success as we are of our production facility. So proud in fact that we show off our facility to colleagues the world over. Axelent is built from the heart and the heartland is Hillerstorp.”

For the sake of clarity, what is Axelent Academy?
“Axelent Academy is a part of this but is something we also reach out with to people in our subsidiaries around the world. We bring them to Hillerstorp and show them the heartlands and pulse of the company. This gives them a feeling of belonging and an understanding of the company's core values.”

When did it start?
“About five years ago. Since then colleagues have visited us from places like Thailand, USA, Japan and Australia. They are the most far afield colleagues. It all began with an exchange between countries to develop customer service but grew into something much bigger.

But going back to where we began with sustainability and environment. Axelent has a code of conduct that clearly lays down our approach to sustainability and environment. It runs like a golden thread from staff induction and on through the whole company. It’s also there internationally via Axelent Academy breathing the spirit of Axelent across the globe. 

And the air that it breathes is Hillerstorp air. Made in Hillerstorp. Born global. With the Axelent spirit anything’s possible.
