The Hulk is alive!

Last Friday, we were able to press our first sheet with our 3000 ton press. Using only 450 tons we tested a tool that has been made for the train industry and the outcome was quite satisfactory.

A very nice job has been made by our mechanical repair team under Roman’s supervision and the outside partners that have been part in setting it up. We expect to be able to produce detail in the press from mid December.

Thank you all of you that have been involved!

About Fors MW

AS FORS MW is the story of one of Sweden’s real heroes - the entrepreneur. As so often with entrepreneurs it’s not the goal in itself that is interesting, it is the journey to reach it.

Leif Fors, company founder and CEO are entrepreneur by birth. Companies being established have always been handled with the same hard work and energetic fire.

However the lack of fare entrepreneurship in our country of origin has caused problems from time to time. A true entrepreneur doesn’t ask for charity – a true entrepreneur asks for fairness and if not receiving it, you never know, he might turn somewhere else.

The story about Fors MW started with a ferry trip, destination Tallinn, at the end of the 80 - ties. The journey was conducted out of curiosity and public interest but what would reveal itself not further away then 400 km from Swedish boarder would shake the entrepreneur by his roots and he choose to stay and has not really left since then.

As entrepreneur he saw an opportunity to create something and by doing so creating a future for him self as well as for others.

Fors MW manufactures forest, agricultural and contractor machinery. Products we then market and sell world wide. The concern is the leading producer in its field and one of the most profitable companies within the mechanical industry in Europe.

Fors MW is based with part of production and most of the assembly in Estonia. The company is Swedish owned, established in 1992 and one of the oldest companies to be established by foreigners in Estonia.
