Emile Frantzen, CEO at Elkapsling, recently joined the Dutch Chamber as an associate member. Emile lives in Matfors, near the town of Sundsvall (county of Västernorrland) and we asked him more about himself and this region, which is an increasingly interesting area that is developing very fast.
How did you end up in Mid Sweden?
After having lived many years in Italy where my entire life was focused on work and career, I decided 5 years ago it was time for more life quality. It was through LinkedIn that I found an interesting job close to Sundsvall in the center of Sweden. Regarding life quality, the Västernorrland region has a lot to offer: a beautiful nature with mountains, lakes and the Bothnian sea. Moreover, the way of working and doing business here is more relaxed than in the south of Europe. After many years of travelling I finally found my home and I obtained a good balance between work an leisure time!
What is Elkapsling doing?
Elkapsling is manufacturing custom-made and standard enclosures for industrial applications, the infrastructure, telecom and energy business. We are part of the Lagercrantz Group that is quoted on the Nasdaq Stockholm. Our business is going strong and despite all the rapid changes in the world we’re looking positive towards our future.
What is your role within the Handelskammaren region Sundsvall?
I’m a board member for the Handelskammarens Sundsvall region. Our main job is to help our members by creating a better business environment. We are a collective voice towards politicians, authorities and the public sector where we address important topics like creating a better infrastructure, to make sure we can attract skilled personnel to our region and to improve international trade.
What are your expectations with regards to the Dutch Chamber?
First of all, the Dutch Chamber is a great opportunity to improve my network. At the same time, I hope I can help the Dutch Chamber to become stronger here in the central part of Sweden. This area is developing very fast and there are huge investments going on in green and sustainable industry. Therefore, this could also be the right time for the Dutch Chamber to put more focus on our region.
