“We have limited space for the event and unfortunately had to say no to 15 people, but there will be more chances to join the technical day this fall,” says Lisbeth Bråstad in Customer Service at Møre Trafo.

Big impact

The professional days matter a lot for both Møre Trafo and you as a customer, and have been held every year, spring and autumn, since 2013, except for the pandemic year 2020. This time, 39 participants from different grid companies gathered for a professional day and a tour at Møre Trafo on March 22.

33 of them also joined the evening before the tour for a walk through the Aquarium and the Klippfisk Academy, where they got to try making their own appetizers. Cathrine Kristiansen Lund, project engineer at Elvia, was one of them.

“It was great fun and a very well-organized program, and the technical day at Møre Trafo itself was also a very positive experience. During the tour you get close to the production, the people, and the products at Møre Trafo. I had quite a few surprises myself and didn’t realize how much manual work goes into manufacturing transformers,” says Cathrine.

Great meeting place

She thinks the technical day is also a great arena and meeting place to meet people in the industry and exchange experience. The event at Atlanterhavsparken is also a perfect opportunity to get to know each other better, and she praises Møre Trafo for the event, both professionally and socially.

Customer Feedback

“The idea behind the technical days is to exchange experience with our customers and users of our products. At the factory, participants can see and touch the components and talk directly with our specialists,” says Sales & Marketing Manager at Møre Trafo, Ivar Lifjeld.

Customer feedback on Møre Trafo products is important so the company can constantly develop and optimize its products for users and customers. Participants get insight into the entire process from the start of the product until it is fully tested in the test station. They also get insight into the production of substations, doors, and vents.

First Meeting

Daniel Skogedal has installed many of the transformers that Møre Trafo has produced, but has never seen how they are made.

“No, it was my first time meeting both Møre Trafo and the transformer production. It was incredibly interesting to get so close to the entire production line. It was much more extensive and went through more stages than I thought. I was also very surprised that so much of the production is done manually,” says Daniel, who took part in the technical day together with two installer colleagues from Eviny in Bergen.

Better Understanding

Lifjeld believes it is very important to give customers this insight into production so they gain a better understanding of the entire production process, and knowledge of the products’ properties and how they work. At the same time, it is very useful for us to receive feedback from customers on possible improvements to the solutions we deliver.

Presentations

This time, the factory tour was split into four groups, and after lunch there were presentations from other suppliers. CEO Rune Halvorsen presented ProCab, which supplies cable products to utilities, the offshore industry, ships and rail equipment. Ben Tore Ulleland presented Eaton, which works on developing efficient and sustainable power management technologies.
