International growth and comprehensive digitalization of operations

This year SabriScan celebrates its 20th anniversary. Story began in 1998. All the way from the beginning, the centre of the story has been, world-class OPEX-Lean excellency and internationalization. In the early years growth was accelerated by the mobile phone industry. In 2004 company gained strong foothold in automotive lighting industry by acquisition of Hella lighting mould tool production in Salo, Finland. The first foreign office was opened at 2005 in China. After surviving from 2008 financial crisis company has continued its internationalization and opened subsidiary company in Romania at 2014 followed by subsidiary company in India at 2016.
