investments in modern technology. how-ever, financing terms may vary globally, influenced by the current interest rate environment. sometimes, banks can only offer limited loan amounts, putting companies looking to invest in new processing technology in a difficult situation. therefore, for several years by now, larsson231 has been offering customers straightforward solutions in partnership with ekn (the swedish export credit agency):223we offer financing assistance, often without requiring any collateral, meaning customers do not have to strain their own credit lines with their local banks. this enables customers to diversify their loan structure, as well as increasing total loan amounts and pay through ongoing cash flow, allowing customers to adopt a more favorable long-term investment planning,224 says richard kappelin, commercial and area sales manager.competitive termsthe terms are competitive, primarily in sek, usd and eur, and the loan installment plans typically range from 3 to 5 years. 223we see a clear increase in interest and demand for financing arrange-ments from our customers, and the financing arrangements has become an important tool for us as a premium supplier, making us more attractive to our customers. the main benefit is that the customer doesn222t need to involve their own bank and use its own credit lines, as would be the case in for example when using an lc. so, if any of our clients are looking for financing, they should consult us to see if we can offer more competitive terms. this can apply to an entire project or part of a project. we are happy to answer any questions, so please contact us224, richard kappelin continues.the export-import financing opportunity through ekn is backed by the swedish government, which provides guarantees to swedish export com-panies like larsson231. 223backed by ekn with competitive terms we o037er tailored loans spanning 3 to 5 years to ensure e036icient and eco-friendly

larsson231.in the last issue of larsson231 magazine, i ended by writing about our large increase in sales, now i can state that it has only continued to increase. during the last financial year, we have broken a new sales record by far. this places even higher demands on our organisation, and our management team is working hard to create the best conditions for our expansion. we are already starting to see improvements and we will continue to work with continuous improvements in the future to increase our efficiency and quality.our continuous development work is ongoing and has now resulted in us being able to launch new desanding and degritting cyclones as further com-plement to our starch processes. our new dryer in-jector is also now ready for market launch and we have received an order for the first machine. there is great interest in the new dryer injector, which you can easily understand when you see the results in terms of capacity increase, energy savings and quality improvement it enables. we are now continuing our development work to construct our own root chopper for cassava, as we have received requests from cus-tomers for supplying an optimal chopper.i222m really proud of our investment in renewable electricity production, the solar cells provide a surplus of electricity on sunny days and we deliver to the public electric grid. the electricity supply in sweden may be problematic in the future and larsson231 therefore want to contribute what we can, if we can also reduce our costs, it is a win-win.finally, i would like to inform you that i will start to scale down my operative work in the company and enjoy more free time, which means that i will spend less time in the office starting after the summer holi-days. i will probably never stop working completely, as the job and the company are a very big part of my life. i have full confidence that isak and jacob, as the next generation taking over more and more, will con-tinue our business in the same larsson231-spirit as always before. the larsson-family is determined that larsson231 will continue to be an independent family business. as a family business, we can plan and act more long-term and we do not have to con-stantly strive to deliver positive quarterly reports to external owners with more short-term thinking. we have the benefit of long term planning and we have the patience to await the long term results of our investments. it is our owner family222s firm belief that this is the best way to continue to run larsson231 226 as a long-term family

market is related to the growth of gdp in the world, as well as population and urbanisation. demand is increasing for con-venience, as an example, food is wrapped in paper and cartons, because of the boosting home deliveries market.223the annual growth of the starch market has always been about four percent plus in volumes. now we see that there will be five per cent annual growth in the coming ten years224, says peter boschma, chief commer-cial officer at larsson231.223almost half of the starch goes into sweet-eners, but starch is everywhere in food and technical products, and it is a green raw ma-terial. there is a tremendous growth in de-velopment countries.224high growth in tapiocawhilst the potato starch market in europe is quite matured, there is high growth in tapioca starch in south east asia. but the area has recently been struck by weather instability, affecting harvests. 223the last harvest in thailand went from 33 million tons of tapioca to 22 million! it was the similar situation in vietnam and indone-sia. this means that there is very limited raw material available for the producers in some of our key markets and that means that invest-ments are slowing down a bit.224but there are also good trends, he adds. 223in general, the capacity increases and the actors on the market get more environmen-tally conscious, which is an area where larsson231 can differentiate ourselves. our processes are advanced, modern and high end quality. compared to local competition our solutions are considered better.there is also a good trend in south america, where root supply in countries like brazil, argentina, colombia and paraguay is coming back to normal after some tough years with draught. also in africa we see potential and i am very optimistic about the future.224native starch still has the biggest share of the market, but are becoming a commodity, he concludes. 223the demand for native starch is growing where they can produce it locally, since trans-ports are too expensive. the modified starch will be stronger at high end users in europe and usa, where it is used for example in food and pharmaceuticals.224an expected shortage of proteinpeter also stresses that there is an expected transition in the world market, where an up-coming shortage of protein is expected. many actors in the market are trying to switch from livestock and dairy products into vegetable protein bases.224livestock and dairy are not so environmen-tally friendly ways of producing protein. but if you can obtain the protein directly from raw materials such as rice or pea, it is a big win for the climate.224larsson231 also notice that the demand for the protein in potatoes is increasing.224our customers, as well as the whole world, are increasingly looking for plant based pro-teins. and with the larsson231 machinery and processes, we can extract the proteins with high quality and resource effectiveness. and if we succeed in replacing animal protein in food, we save massively on the nature.224environmental factors such as water and energy consumption are also in the spotlight for sustainability reasons.223and that speaks for larsson231, because it matches our profile and what we can offer. the future is bright.224starch market outlook general market outlook223a bright future ahead224the starch market is expected to have increased growth rate, sustainability is growing in importance, and a transition to plant based protein is taking place. peter boschma, chief commercial o037cer at larsson231, describes three strong trends 226

larsson231.www.larssonsweden.com | 11' },{ Page: '12', V: 1, Data: [],content:'profileisak larsson is an engineer with a master of science degree in mechanical engineering. he has been working at larsson231 since the spring of 2012, although he has been involved in the family business since childhood.223larsson231 operates in an exciting market and i grew up right in the middle of it. the starch traditions come from both my grand-father and father. i never considered working anywhere else. to me, the starch world seemed interesting even as a child.224it was the large number of international visitors, who visited his parents222 home in barum over the years that was intriguing. 223we often had visitors from other continents, which was exciting. and i still love travelling and discovering new places and cultures.224a lot of travellingisak travels approximately 50226100 days a year, both privately and for business.223we have a lot of business in asia, especially in thailand. it is exciting to be involved in developing our customer realtionships further.224right now, the larsson south east asia initiative in thailand is underway, with head-quarters in bangkok and a branch office with workshop, warehouse and office in korat.223everything is ready for the start-up. the establishment of larsson south east asia co ltd will enable us to deliver spare parts faster and provide even better service to our local customers in the region.224strategic issues and teamworkisak took over the coo-role from his mother, eva larsson, a couple of years ago. since then, he has been increasingly involved in strategic issues and management team work.223larsson231 as a company has grown a lot and fast. as a result, we had to put our efforts into developing improved structure and organisa-tion, and start working in a more standard-ised manner. several employees at larsson231 have really put in an enormous amount of work to establish this standardisation foundation, benefiting the entire company. the new structure improves our efficiency, ensures even safer deliveries and maintains consistent high quality in everything we do.224isak is also chairing and leading the process group at larsson231. 223larsson231 is unique in its process know-ledge in starch processing and its ability to tailormake process plants better than the competition. to remain in a world leader position, the process group meets bi-weekly to brainstorm and find the optimal process solutions for our customers. the group evaluates and analyses the best options and shares new insights internally. we are a strong, highly competent team, and together we strive to exceed our customers222 expectations. this is how we secure our world-leading role also for the future.224isak222s brother jacob larsson also works at the company, as sales manager.223we work well together, complementing each other with our diverse backgrounds. we share the same ambitions and the intention is that we brothers will increasingly take over the responsibility of the day-to-day operations of the company, while our father, j枚rgen, continues to work here. 224how do you see the future of larsson231?223very positive. we will continue to be a global leader in what we do best, that is, customised processes and machines for the starch process-ing industry, as well as machines for other ap-plication areas such as protein processing, fiber processing and drying of various prod-ucts. our vision is to be the industry leader in technology and expertise. besides our tradi-tional markets, such as potatoes and tapioca, we see great potential in several new and ex-citing fields like extracting protein and starch from peas. we have invested significant re-sources in this area in recent years and have demonstrated our ability and expertise there as well. being the market leader in terms of energy consumption and water savings also indicates that we are well in line with cus-tomers222 future environmental demands.224competing in motocrossisak exercises a lot in his private time, engaging in both strength training and endurance. this habit stems from his days of competing in motocross at an elite level. 223i started when i was five years old and continued until 2013, when it became too dif-ficult to balance with my job.224however, he still participates in the world222s largest enduro competition every october: gotland grand national. last time, however, things went south; after three hours of racing and with just ten minutes left in the race, isak broke his wrist in a crash while being in the leading pack. but shame on the one who gives up:223i am going to race again this year,224 he says with a broad smile. isak is part of the third-generation larsson:223we will continue to be world leading224he has worked as a 037tter in the workshop, designed machines, managed projects and is now chief operation o035cer. isak larsson essentially grew up at the larsson231

now, the company has taken another step in the green transition regarding energy con-sumption in its manufacturing processes: a bit more than 600 square meters of the work-shop roof have been covered by solar panels, expected to deliver about 132 megawatt-hours annually.223it feels great that we are producing our own green electricity. we are reducing our energy costs while simultaneously contributing to the green transition,224 says j枚rgen larsson.digital information screenat the entrance to the head office, there is a digital information screen where visitors and employees can follow the electricity produc-tion in real time, as well as see the solar cells222 historical solar energy production.223for us, environmental work is an integral part of the company222s daily work, and the digital screen emphasizes this clearly to everyone pre-sent at our head office 226 employees and visitors. many people are curious about how the solar cells are performing,224 j枚rgen says and continues:223sustainability is becoming increasingly important and larsson222s ambition is to remain at the forefront. we also see that several of our customers are self-sufficient when it comes to electricity, which is inspiring. for example, many of our customers in thailand are very far ahead in the green transition.224the solar cell electricity production cover about one third of the electricity consumed by the office and workshop. the surplus electricity generated during the summer and on days off, when the business does not consume green electricity, is sold to the swedish electricity grid for other consumers to use. 223this means we also contribute to the country of sweden222s overall electricity supply. we also protect ourselves against the peaks in electricity prices that have occurred in sweden in recent years and which may occur again,224 says j枚rgen larsson.100% free from fossil fuelsthe plant222s heating system is sustainable as well. the new office section, completed in may 2024, is heated by heat pumps, while the rest of the premises are heated by the renew-able energy source wood pellets.223so we are 100% free from fossil fuels in our daily operations 226 although we do have an oil boiler for backup, in case of a breakdown in any of the fossil-free energy systems.224223even our subsidiary, vk mekaniska in staffanstorp, sweden, now has solar panels on the roof, contributing to a sustainable and environmentally friendly production in that workshop as well.224investing in renewable energy at the larsson231 head o035icecurrently, the larsson231

forward to further contribute to it. my mission is to further develop and optimise the dryers at larsson: both in terms of de-sign and project execution, with the aim to also optimise capex and opex for the cus-tomers. in addition, i enjoy working at here. working at larsson231 means great freedom with responsibility, which i like and appreciate very much.224you also have a background as hgv mechanic and crane technician, correct?223yes, it has been very useful for me as an engi-neer later on in my career. as a heavy goods vehicle mechanic and crane technician i learned to see how things are connected and how to break down parts and structures into small details, and it has given me fundamental know-ledge of mechanics and problem-solving skills that i have had good use of as an engineer.224what do you do in your free time?223i spend a lot of time with my family. i have two children: one 1.5-year-old and a 3-year-old. my wife and i are also very interested in gardening; we

larsson231 facility in brom枚lla.223when we re-allocated our business from barum to brom枚lla 22 years ago, there were only six or seven of us in the office. now, we have 30 staff members who need the best possible working conditions,224 says j枚rgen larsson, showing us around the new premis-es which match the stylistic design of the rest of the office area e.g. featuring wooden floors throughout. departments are consolidatedin the past, employees were spread over two floors in the building and some employees used to share rooms. now, everyone has their own office space on the ground floor.223it is important to be able to close the door when you for example need to focus or talk to customers or suppliers. at the same time, it is essential to have your colleagues nearby.224the various departments and functions at larsson231 are now consolidated, rather than scattered in the office building as before. in this way, for example, finance and sales depart ments now form a small cluster, as do purchasing and design, and project manage-ment departments. communication and creativity223my vision for our working areas, is to make it easier for our employees to meet each other naturally, all the time. this facilitates both communication and creativity, as the best ideas often emerge from informal meetings between people. furthermore the organisation is not divided between office staff and workers; we are all part of the same company, and together we create our success.224around 50 employeesin total, larsson231 employs around 50 people. after taking the new offices in use the entire top floor of the office building will be completely dedicated to meeting rooms, offering numerous opportunities for internal meetings and to better accommodate different group sizes of

conny svensson is sharing his expertise at larsson231 by participating in the imple-mentation of the material requirement plan-ning module in larsson222s business system.223currently, my colleague and i are building article and component structures for all our products in the mrp system, which involves several tens of thousands of items. the system is unique; it allows us to break down our machines into 72268 item article levels and see even the smallest of components in the struc-tures. this is extremely helpful, for example, when a customer needs a specific spare part in a machine design. we can instantly locate the spare part, determine its cost, and pro-vide a delivery time. this also simplifies the quoting process for the sales department and facilitates easier project follow-ups. the mrp system, once it is ready, will save us signifi-cant administrative time across various work processes, increasing our internal efficiency and enabling us to undertake more projects and shorten our lead times.224do you like working at larsson231?223yes, there is a high level of competence here and it is really enjoyable to work with such knowledgeable colleagues. and it is also inspiring to
