Be-Ge Lackering AB

Be-Ge Lackering AB’s operations consist of automotive and industrial painting.

The company has capacity to paint everything from complete trucks, buses, boats and similar large objects to smaller components in larger batches. The car painting segment consists of repairs and painting of damage to passenger cars and transport vehicles, primarily with insurance companies and private individuals as customers.

Industrial painting is carried out in a separate facility with the capacity to paint all kinds of industrial components, although primarily plastic components for the automotive industry. The company is a member of the Swedish Association for Motor Retail Trades and Repairs and is certified in accordance with ISO 9001.

The past year

The beginning of the financial year was stable but uneven, with high demand from industrial customers, while it was quieter in the private market and for painting of car damage. The car business worked hard to increase capacity utilisation, which resulted in a couple of new customers and business deals being brought into the department in the spring and early summer of 2021. After the holidays, the surrounding workshops also increased their capacity for repairing sheet metal damage, which contributed to the rise in demand.

The industrial business had high capacity utilisation until July, when demand from the company’s biggest customer failed to materialise. This was in turn due to the customer extending the holiday period because of component shortages. The restart after the summer and the early autumn were also characterised by low capacity utilisation in industrial painting, while the automotive department saw a positive trend in demand.

Demand in the industrial business did, however, rise at the end of the calendar year and in the winter, and remained stable at a good level for the rest of the financial year. The team managed to handle the fluctuations and imbalances between the company’s two painting facilities in an exemplary manner, and through flexible solutions around holidays and by helping each other, we achieved 100% delivery precision to customers during the year.
