WE LIVE FROM and for our customers. Running a company entails designing and creating solutions that are in demand and needed. The better this is done, the greater is the success – both for our customers and for us. Smart, effective and cost-saving solutions have always, and will always be, central in this context. Lindab has clearly staked its claim here, with its initiatives to “simplify construc-tion”. However, additional customer values are required today, involving sustainable, climate-smart solutions and genuine responsibility.

My wife, my three children and I have recently returned after just over three years in Shanghai. A fantastic time, in a fantastic environment, but also with climate challenges that are diffi cult to master. I want to be able to look my children in the eye in twenty years time and say that I have actually been part of the solution, and not part of the problem. The picture on the front page of this issue, which shows happy, healthy children in a sound and en-ergy-smart indoor climate, is precisely what it’s all about. I am consequently both pleased and proud that Lindab is already a part of this sustainable responsibility through the climate-smart solutions in steel that we offer. At the time of writing this I have been President and CEO for Lindab for some two weeks. Never-theless, I have already had the opportunity to meet some of our customers. It is clear that Lindab’s lifeblood is entirely based on understanding their needs and being fl exible in terms of adapting to them. However, the fact is that Lindab’s down-to-earth and practical way of dealing with customers is in our walls, and clearly articulated in the passion and commitment that I observe in our staff.

I feel it is passion in particular that is crucial in creating and developing new ideas. It also includes the desire to challenge customers with completely new solutions. Solutions that they might not even have known they needed. Take the iPhone for example, no customers had this “inconceivable” product on their wish list, but by understanding the customer’s overall needs, Apple were able to chal-lenge, surprise and create a solution with a great

capacity to deliver change. This should also be our goal. To use advanced knowledge about our cus-tomers’ everyday working-lives to challenge them with new solutions and methods that further rein-force what we offer customers! What I want most of all is a really good dialogue with all our custom-ers. Call me, mail me and tell me your ideas and thoughts on how your working day could be made even better! If by going that extra metre, or listen-ing especially carefully, we can further strengthen and hone what Lindab offers – which naturally we can – then this is precisely what we will do.

Finally, I would like to fi nish off by expressing my pride and pleasure at having the opportunity to lead this, as I see it, icon within the international construction industry. My goal is that nobody will fail to note our commitment, responsibility and passion for sustainable, climate-smart and simpli-fi ed construction solutions. Today, tomorrow and in the future!

Short presentation of Anders Berg, Lindab’s new President and CEO

In constant, passionate motionDESPITE BEING relatively young, An-ders Berg has found time for signifi cant and important roles within SSAB in a range of positions, within ABB and SKF, as well as early self-employment within IT and logistics. En route he has gathered valuable knowledge about the worlds of both business and steel. Lindab’s Chairman Kjell Nilsson describes the group’s new CEO with satisfaction as “a per-son with an excellent education, background and experience that meet the requirements

that the Board of Director sets for a new CEO in Lindab”.

Most recently, Anders Berg and his family have spent just over three years in Shanghai, where he was involved in developing SSAB’s Chinese operations. “It was an extremely en-joyable and exciting time, full of challenges and where success was achieved through passion and openness for the task,” says Anders Berg. “Yin and yang, family and work. These are the two important components in life, in order of priority. For me, achieving a symbiosis between the two is the key to success and happiness.”

He describes himself as courteous, genu-inely responsible, disinterested in the car he drives, childishly enchanted by driving an old motor scooter together with his family at their cottage outside Kalix – and clearly with a burn-ing passion to succeed and win in business. “Football, squash, and boxing have consumed numerous pleasurable hours of my leisure time. Boxing in particular is wonderful,” he contin-ues. “Everybody is equal there, full-on passion

and a real one to one fi ght! Moreover, you have to be in motion and attacking at all times, just like in a successful business enterprise.”

“When Kjell Nilsson called we were to some extent ‘fi nished’ in China, and with my knowl-edge of Lindab, everything felt right,” con-cludes Anders Berg. “I don’t see the fact that Europe is in a recession as problematic, I like challenging conditions. Things should be tough and a bit of a struggle, others will have to do the administration. Our task now is to shape Lindab into an even more well-functioning company and then we’ll set records. In terms of both business done and customer satisfac-tion. We have to operate in the long-term, take responsibility for the future, listen to what our customers want, and be open at all times to adapt, adjust course and navigate correctly. As I said, it’s like boxing, if you stand still you’ll take a hit. From now on we should be in con-stant motion, and with full-on passion!”

XL-BYGG, Scandinavia’s largest chain of builders merchants, has designated Lindab as Supplier of the Year 2012. “Excellent, high quality products, together with service and very high class logistics, along with an increasing fo-cus on tailored training courses and a high level of willingness to develop our brands together,” were central elements in the jury’s reasoning.

“It is very pleasing to receive such a splendid honour from one of our largest

customers,” says Joakim Lönnberg, CEO of Lind-ab Sweden. “It is our team’s everyday inputs, large and small, that make the difference and in true Lindab spirit

we will continue to work for all our customers!”

IN NASDAQ OMX’s annual competition, Lindab received the prize for “Best Report” in the Mid Cap category. “With a systematic and clear graphic profi le and a slimmed-down report, the reader can quickly assimilate all essential information,” is NASDAQ OMX’s justifi cation for the prize.

“The fact that our dedicated, long-term work on our annual report has been recognised in this way is very gratifying,” says Per Nilsson, CFO at Lindab. “The aim is for our annual report to be for the benefi t and enjoyment of an increasingly widespread target group.”

WITH 91% SATISFIED or very satisfi ed customers, Lindab Denmark is setting new records in customer satisfaction. “We measure this every year to check whether our improvement measures are continually moving forward,” says Puk Spencer, Lindab. “Moreover, the fact that 94% of our customers would recommend us to others is only one among a number of other highly positive results.

THE LATEST issue of Lindab Direct present-ed the new head offi ce of the Slovakian com-pany, GasOil Engineering, a steel building from Lindab erected by the Lindab Builder, Hornex.

Clearly, it was not just GasOil Engineer-ing that appreciated its new building, as the project has received two prestigious awards. CE.ZA.AR., the Slovak Architects Association, has designated the building “Best Architecture 2012” in the industrial buildings class, and ABF Slovakia made the project, “Building of the Year 2012” in Slovakia in its 18th annual awards ceremony. Steel really does provide opportunities!

SIMONSLAND WAS previously owned by Borås Väveri and was the centre for its rayon production. The fantastic buildings, which were designed between 1917 and the 1940s, are now being brought back to life through the exciting project initiated by the property owner, Kanico.

“Production was still taking place up to 2007, by which time we had already started planning the fi rst stage of the project,” says Hanna Lassing, project manager at Kanico. “The Swedish School of Textiles’ activities in the city will now be assembled here, along with all of the operations that Borås City Council conducts in relation to textiles, the Textile Museum for example. Restaurants and several other tenants will contribute to creating the stimulating cluster through col-laborations, meetings and synergies, which is our aim for Simonsland.”

“We started to strip the carcass in the

spring of 2011, only leaving facades, pillars, staircases and the beautiful serrated glass

roof,” Hanna Lassing continues. “This gave us an open area of 37,000 m2 to fi ll with modern, functional premises, at the same time as we wanted to preserve the exciting, raw industrial character of the building.”

Kanico commissioned the Byggfast company to carry out design, procurement and production control. “The main chal-lenge internally has been the height of the fl oor levels at up to seven metres,” explains Lars Bovin, Byggfast. “We decided at an early stage on a steel solution in all interior walls, and Lindab’s factory-made RdBX steel studs have facilitated installation and handling. Lindab was actually the only sup-plier that was able to present a solution that both had the stud lengths required, and met the sound requirements specifi ed.”

“Working with complete stud lengths has really made things easier for us,” says Leif Johnsson from Tak- och Vägginstallationer,

who has been responsible for installing the extensive area of interior walls total-ling 25,000 m2. “Moreover, RdBX’s structure is easy to assemble, process and cut. We purchased all the studs through Varbergs

Trä, which worked extremely well.” Besides Lindab’s RdBX studs, the entire

building has been fi tted with a duct system from Lindab. “In fact, Lindab Safe is the most easily assembled duct system on the market, so despite the relatively compli-cated installation, it has gone well,” says Christer Axelsson, LH Vent Teknik.

“Fortunately the City Council and the University in Borås are very positive about our venture and we are already observing a number of positive spin-off effects for the city as a whole, its inhabitants and busi-nesses,” Hanna Lassing concludes.

Simonsland’s fi rst stage will be opened in August. The building will receive a Green Building certifi cation.

New life for Simonsland /THE CREATIVE FACTORY

in brief

Lindab has supplied the “new” Simonsland in Borås with RdBX studs for all partition walls, as well as the complete duct system for the 37,000 m2 building.

For almost 100 years Simonsland in Borås pulsated with industrial life. It will soon be pulsating again,

but now as a creative, textile cluster and as a meeting place for training, history and new possibilities.

Solutions from Lindab are important elements of the project.

LINDAB’S NEW VAV-SYSTEM, Pascal, is now increasingly starting to appear in contexts where energy-effi ciency, simple installation and fl exible adjustment are important parameters. Along with its 130 or so pupils, Ramlösa Friskola moved into its completely new premises just outside Helsingborg before the start of the spring term.

“We have been located here on Magnoliagatan since 2003, but had felt for over a year that we had grown out of the premises,” says Mikael Meviken at Ramlösa Friskola. “We rented school modules from a company called Pamil, and it was also Pamil that gave us the best solution for our new school build-ing. It is still a modular building, but with a complete-ly new sense of harmony and well-being that both pupils and teachers, as well as parents, appreciate. Furthermore, we have acquired an energy-saving and completely silent ventilation system, which clearly contributes to our sense of well-being.”

Pamil Modulsystem has been manufacturing, letting and selling fl exible modular buildings for ex-actly 50 years (congratulations!), with the focus on offi ces, schools and nurseries. For many of these years the company has also used Lindab as sup-plier of both ventilation systems and construction components in the form of exterior cladding, roofi ng profi les and roof drainage etc.

“Lindab’s duct system and diffusers are in just about all the modular buildings we have manufac-tured in recent years,” explains Claes Bengtsson, CEO of Pamil. “In line with the ever increasing focus on energy-effi ciency, we also started looking at more energy-saving ventilation solutions. Lindab launched Pascal, its new VAV-system, while we were designing the Ramlösa Friskola, and it proved to be ideal for our requirements in this area.”

“We wanted to achieve a modern, demand-con-trolled and energy-effi cient ventilation system, and that’s exactly what we have got with Pascal,” Claes Bengtsson continues. “As usual, Lindab has given us excellent technical support and service through-out the entire process, and installation, assembly and adjustment has proceeded without any prob-

lems. The Pascal system also enables both the fan unit and ducts to be downsized, which reduces both the investment- and running costs, so there are nu-merous benefi ts.” Motion sensors on the actual dif-fuser, along with CO2 gauges in rooms, ensure that the Pascal system provides satisfactory ventilation when it is really needed. Besides the visible, active Pascal diffuser, the system consists of the specially developed MBBV boxes and Regula control units.

Pamil normally carries out its own manufacturing and construction, but for somewhat more complex ventilation systems such as this, it engages sub-contractors for design, installation and adjustment. The duct system is usually also installed during the actual manufacture of the modules at Pamil’s large plant in Helsingborg. In this case, with a more complex installation, the Lindab Safe duct system was installed on site, after the modules had been transported there and assembled.

Pamil leases the complete school facility to Ramlösa Friskola.

“The new school building has actually only been in use since early January,” Claes Bengtsson continues, “so we haven’t been able to monitor energy con-sumption yet, but it is absolutely clear that a VAV-sys-tem of this type uses less energy, and utilising these types of modern solutions in our module complex feels great, both environmentally and economically.”

Mikael Meviken and Ramlösa Friskola take a very positive view of the development of the new school. “There are clear indications that we are increasing our attractiveness and we are observing a stable increase in our school population. A comfortable and harmonious environment, with a good indoor climate, is no doubt proving attractive!”

in brief

Lindab has supplied a complete indoor climate system based on Lindab’s new VAV-system, Pascal, and the Lindab Safe duct system for Pamil’s modular construction of the new Ramlösa Friskola. The facades’ aesthetically pleasing corrugated sheet-metal in metallic silver mean that Lindab is also visible externally.

Energy-effi cient harmony

A harmonious, congenial and comfortable environment is essential for a school. At least that is what Ramlösa

Friskola, which now has what must be one of north-western Skåne’s most pleasant school environments, thinks.

It is a bonus that the ventilation system, with Lindab Pascal at its centre, is effi cient, silent and energy-effi cient!

ENVIRONMENT Lindab Pascal is an example of new energy-effi cient solutions within the framework of Lindab’s SR-programme, Lindab Life.

HARMONY The school dining-room offers good food, a pleasant environment and ventilation adapted according to need. With its centrally located motion sensor, the Pascal diffuser adapts the air flow perfectly to the number of hungry children.

1,300 m2 With a few exceptions, all rooms at Ramlösa Friskola are equipped with Pascal diffusers. A complete Lindab Safe system and Pascal’s MBBV boxes are concealed in the attic, underneath the buildings’ pentroof.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS, which give the investor the opportunity to both save money and “do the right thing” from an environmental perspec-tive, are becoming increasingly common. Certifying buildings so that they meet LEED, Green Building, ISO 14000 or other standards is high on the list of requirements for aware developers. Lindab Build-ings has recently participated in a number of major projects with clear “green solutions,” demonstrating once again that Lindab’s steel building technology is ideal for this. In one of the cases it also entailed developing a completely new insulation technique to minimise the facade’s thermal bridge. The Belgian company Steel, which specialises in the fi eld of energy management, has just moved into its 1,500 m2 head offi ce. “Naturally, the name of the company – ‘Steel’ – implies that steel should be a central part of the new building,” says architect Alexandre D’Orzee at Bureau d’Architecture ASSAR. “Furthermore, it gave us the architectonic freedom we sought and the opportunity to utilise light, trans-parent materials. We also wanted to have a build-ing that met ISO 14000, which the team at Lindab Buildings and the Lindab Builder Wust SA resolved extraordinarily well.”

As ASSAR chose to use exterior columns, outside of which we had to mount the horizontal sand-wich panels, there was a risk of thermal bridges. “Our engineers got round this by developing a new technique using tubular insulated rectangular battens – ‘Schöck’ – which elegantly resolved the problem,”

explains Lars Franzen, Lindab Buildings. “It is an interesting new technology that we will naturally be incorporating in more projects where energy-effi cien-cy is central.”

Solar panels is an energy technology that is clearly gaining ground. The actual technology is not particu-larly cheap and securing the solar panels frequently creates problems and increased costs. However, this is not the case in combination with Lindab Buildings. “We were able to simply attach the solar panels on the south side of the building where they now cover an area of 80 x 20 metres,” explains Dariusz Stasik, CEO at the Lindab Builder W.P.I.P., which recently delivered Central Europe’s largest distribution centre for footwear and Poland’s largest solar panel installa-tion for the CCC company. “As usual, Lindab Build-ings handled the delivery of the 23,000 m2 building in an exemplary fashion.”

Delivery of Goodyear’s new factory in Philippsburg, Germany, in the form of an 80,000 m2 production plant also involved a solar panel solution – Germany’s largest. “We usually like to avoid fi xing installations on roofs due to the risk of leaks,” says Sabine Lindner at the Lindab Builder MATTIG & LINDNER, “however, the clip system in Lindab’s LMR600-roof enables the attachment to be made leaving the roof membrane completely intact. The installation is now supplying 7.4 MW with a completely sealed roof.”

Another example of “green solutions” from Building Systems is Orifl ame’s new 56,000 m2 factory in No-ginsk, Russia. By combining an indoor climate solution from Lindab with Lindab Buildings’ effi cient solutions to optimise insulation, the new plant qualifi es for LEED certifi cation, thereby meeting Orifl ame’s environmental requirements. Steel isn’t grey, it’s really green!

Lindab Buildings

in brief

Solutions from Lindab Buildings are not just simple, fast and economic, they also provide fantastic possibilities for energy-effi cient construction. New insulation technologies, effective optimisation of the building’s overall insulation and “cross-ferti-lisation” with, for example, solar panels, make Lindab Buildings an interesting environmental choice.

The Swedish cosmetics giant, Oriflame has nearly completed the construction of a new distribution and production centre in Noginsk, just outside Moscow.The 56,000m² facility consists of two connected buildings equipped with a complete ventilation system. “Lindab’s

solution, with a complete indoor climate and ventilation system combined with Lindab’s optimisation of the building’s insulation values, meant that the building qualifies for LEED certification, thereby satisfying Oriflame’s environmental requirements,” explains the main contractor for the project.

Environmentally LEED Certifiedin Russia

Belgium company Steel, specialise in energy management and have just moved into its new 1,500m² office building completed by Builder Wust SA.

The choice of steel was naturally driven by the company name itsef “Steel” but also because the material fully meets the architect requirements: great architectural

freedom as well as light and transparent materials.The customer wanted a “low energy” building in order to comply with the ISO14001 environmental management, a real challenge taking into account the choice of exterior columns with architectural sandwich panels glued from the interior of the walls. To meet this

challenge the Lindab engineering office has developed an innovative solution with “Schöck” elements to stop the thermal bridges on the main profiles.This was completed by rectangular tubes purlins filled with insulation. Clear lines and contemporary style, curved roof, generous use of glass create a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.

WHEN WE VISIT IT at the end of February, the TELE2 Arena is a boiling cauldron of craftsmen, who are all working frantically to ensure that the kick-off between Hammarby and Örgryte takes place as planned on 20 July this year. “For us, it started with an enquiry from the main contrac-tor, Peab, as to whether we had any ideas on how the exterior cladding on the edges of the floor structure could be executed,” says Anders Ericsson at Liab Plåtbyggarna. “Our suggestion of sandwich panels secured in lightweight beams turned out to be both simpler and cheaper than the original solution, and so that’s how it ended up. And as Lindab is our largest supplier, it was natural to select Lindab this time too.”

After this Liab won a number of further contracts at the arena – from constructing the Arena’s fan room, which is located high-up, to cladding the arena space, the fixed parts of the roof and other public areas etc. “We currently have 34 men on site,” Anders Ericsson continues, “and so far we have assembled, among other things, 142 tonnes of sheet-metal, 4,500 m lightweight beams and over 8,000 m2 of sandwich panels, high profiles and aluminium flooring – all from Lindab.”

Liab Plåtbyggarna’s collaboration with Lindab, with Hans Davén as contact, goes back many years. “”We want to have suppliers that function as sounding boards, and that’s just what it’s like with Lindab and Hasse,” continues Anders Erics-son by way of explanation. “Fast, accurate infor-mation and assistance with, for example, design are of crucial importance for us. Sometimes when we have tried out other suppliers, we haven’t even been given a delivery date. The fact is that we have to be at the cutting-edge in relation to our customers, so it is important that our central suppliers are also in that position. That’s precisely why Lindab is the best!”

For Liab Plåtbyggarna this has been a build full of special solutions. “This type of assignment can be trying, but we wouldn’t want to turn it away,” concludes Anders Ericsson. “Exciting challenges are always fun, and if you have secure suppliers like Lindab behind you then all you have to do is enjoy yourself!”

Delivery of sheet-metal, lightweight beams and sandwich panels for Liab Plåtbyggarna’s job at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm. The most recent of many years of collaboration between Liab and Lindab. Anders Ericsson at Liab emphasises Lindab’s capacity to supply the right items at the right time, in combination with fast, pro-fessional customer support.

The Tele2 Arena in Stockholm will be a world-class, flexible and modern

arena for sports and events. Lindab has supplied 142 tonnes of sheet

metal, 4,500 m lightweight beams and 8,100 m2 sandwich panels and

high profiles to Liab Plåtbyggarna.

THE SOLUTION OF Lindab’s sandwich panels produces an attractive surface layer, but above all prevents thermal bridges where the supporting beams and the floor struc-tures protrude outside the inclined facade. A specification for the Arena was Environmental Build-ing Gold, which is why energy-efficient solutions are a requirement.

WITH A SPECIAL SOLUTION from Lindab, Peu-geot’s worldwide identity concept, Blue Box, is now being gradually rolled-out for Denmark’s Peugeot dealers. Peugeot in Ringsted and in Rødovre were the fi rst two dealers to be able to display the new Blue Box facade consisting of specially designed facade cassettes from Lindab painted in the cor-rect, dark blue colour.

“The Blue Box concept will ensure that Peugeot’s dealers throughout the world have an exclusive and uniform appearance,” says Susanne Christensen, ID and Blue Box manager at Peugeot Denmark’s importer K.W. Bruun Import. “It will give the cus-tomers a unique experience when purchasing a car and thereby provide optimum support for our sales activities and the Peugeot brand.”

Peugeot Denmark is now encouraging all Danish dealers to make use of Lindab’s facade cassettes. Moreover, the solution should also be available for Peugeot dealers in Sweden. Peugeot is anticipating a further 10-12 dealers to sign up to the Blue Box concept during 2013/2014.

“The straight lines and modern design of the facade cassettes are ideal for the concept,” says Nicolaj Pergi, Lindab. “Furthermore, the solution has a number of details that reinforce the exclusive impression, for example, the fi xings and upper edges of the facades are entirely concealed. The fi nishing touch is naturally the fact that the facade cassettes are painted in the correct Blue Box col-our, completing the impression. We are now hoping

for new supplies of Blue Box facade cassettes for both Denmark and Sweden.”

Lindab’s facade cassettes are absolutely ideal for both refurbishment and new builds, and in addi-tion to the architectural benefi ts, have a very stable and durable construction, giving them an elegant

robustness and a long service life. “Both the actual facade cassettes and the fi ttings have a material thickness of 1 mm, which is markedly thicker than most other alternatives,” Nicolaj Pergi continues. “Together with the chamfered top edges, which en-able dirt to be easily washed off when it rains, they are simple to maintain.”

“Lindab’s solution really matches the require-ments placed on aesthetics and quality by our Blue Box concept,” concludes Susanne Christensen. “We are looking forward to our dealers’ premises now increasingly supporting and refl ecting Peu-geot’s new, global brand identity.”

Lindab has supplied two Peugeot dealers in Denmark with a tailor-made facade cassette system with a design and colour scheme completely adapted to Peugeot’s new global Blue Box design concept. A number of Peugeot dealers in both Denmark and Sweden are now awaiting their turn for this face-lift.

Peugeot Blue Box concept

Distinct brand exposure and a reinforced customer experience lies behind Peugeot’s global Blue Box initiative. With specially

designed facade cassettes in the correct blue colour, Lindab is now supplying a facade solution tailor-made for this purpose.

BLUE BOX is the new identity concept for dealers, which aims to reinforce customers’ experience of quality and exclusiveness.

Specially designed and painted facade cassettes from Lindab have now been delivered to the fi rst two dealers in Denmark.

THE FACADE CAS-SETTES’ chamfered top edge and completely concealed fi xings deliver both an aesthetic design and simple maintenance.

EXTENDING THROUGHOUT the heart of Turin’s historic and cultural centre is

Via Roma, the city’s principal shopping street and address for cultural heritage buildings such as the Palazzo San Carlo. Until now there have been no residential properties at all in these blocks, however, the recently completed New Palazzo San Carlo project has included converting parts of the large building into apartments. As part of this project, Lindab has supplied a complete indoor climate system for homes using the Lindab Inside concept.

The French property company Nexity spe-cialises in luxurious property developments in top locations in French and Italian cities, of which New Palazzo San Carlo is a typical example.

In conjunction with the designer, Al En-gineering, and the installation contractors, Tecno Engineering, Lindab has supplied a complete ventilation system that can be simply integrated in the building. “The challenge was to supply a system that would surpass even the most stringent EU energy standards, but

which would also be possible to install simply and discreetly in the sensitive buildings,” says Luca Bovolenta, Lindab. “With our technical expertise and Lindab Inside we were able to tackle it with no major problems.”

“The aim was to create fi rst-class accom-modation with an extremely energy-effi cient ventilation system, at the same time as retaining the form of this historically important building,” explains Andrea Chieregato, Tecno Engineering. “In the light of Lindab’s high-level technical expertise, we were convinced that they would deliver a complete and quiet solu-tion that meets all requirements. Everything has gone splendidly and occupation of New Palazzo San Carlos’ 90 luxurious apartments will soon commence.”

IN GERMANY, Lindab has tradi-tionally been associated with the

group’s ventilation and steel buildings products, however the position of the Building Components business area in this important market is gradually also be-

ing consolidated. “It involves both old relationships and

completely new collabora-tions,” says Ralf Rexin, regional manager at Building Components,

Lindab Germany. “Our long standing relationships

with the small house manu-facturer ScanHaus Marlow and the builders merchants chain Toom are good examples of this, but so is our new collaboration with Jorkisch, one of Germany’s larg-est manufacturers of garages, carports and potting-sheds.”

With its head offi ce in the North German town of Marlow, ScanHaus Marlow, is one of Germany’s leading manufactur-ers of energy-effi cient buildings, with an annual volume of over 600 houses. “We have been sup-plying Rainline roof drainage for their house production for over 15 years and we have succeeded in building up a highly successful collaboration with them,” Ralf Rexin continues.

The collaboration with the builders merchants chain Toom and its 370 outlets

throughout Germany also extends back over the past 15 years. “We sup-

ply products to Toom from our Coverline and Topline ranges and there too we have built up a really successful collaboration that just grows and grows,” Ralf

Rexin explains.

The well-known company, Jorkisch, has been using a large number of Lindab products in its manufacture of garages, carports and

wooden potting-sheds since 2012. Lindab’s doors, Coverline

and Rainline products, are con-sequently in Jorkisch’s cata-logue, which has a print-run of over half a million. “It has to be said that Lindab has been cultivating us for a long time and it now feels great to be able to present market-leading steel solu-tions such as Lindab’s SRP Click-roof, particularly as our competitors only have felt roofs to of-fer,” says Sven Lippert, Jorkisch’s CEO.

Turnkey deliveries of steel building systems to Takeda-Nycomed and Shate-M Plus

Architectural highlights

the magazine that focuses on simpler building solutions

TAKEDA IS A global, research-oriented company that focuses on medicines. The pharmaceuticals company Nycomed has recently been incorporat-ed in Takeda, which means that the group’s strong positions in North America and Asia are now being supplemented with a distinct pres-ence in Europe and Russia too. As an element in Takeda-Nycomed’s focus on the Russian market, construction of a completely new production plant in the Russian city of Yaroslavl commenced two years ago Lindab Buildings has designed and supplied all buildings for this plant: four multi-storey buildings for pro-duction, packing and administration etc., a large high bay storage facility and a number of technical buildings, with a total area of 23,800 m2.

“Completion of this highly ambitious project in our most rapidly expanding new market means that we are now able to supply locally produced medicines to patients and hospitals throughout Russia,” says Yasuchika Hasegawa, MD and group chief execu-tive of Takeda Pharmaceutical.

“Takeda is the first large international phar-maceuticals company to invest in a world-class plant here in Yaroslavl’s pharmaceutical cluster,” says Sergey Yastrebov, Governor of the Yaroslavl region. “Their collaboration with Lindab Buildings, among others, will lead to hundreds of new, highly qualified jobs in the region!”

The extensive project came in entirely on budget and on schedule, and meets the highest possible environmental standards.

A Belarusian success story. This is undoubt-edly how to describe Shate-M Plus. It all started

in a small cellar in 1995 when the founder, Konstantin Shavel,

began selling auto parts to a market hungry for spare parts. Today the company is the leader in its sector, with distribution throughout Belarus to over 3,000 customers, car repair shops and local dis-tributors. “Even though we have been gradually ex-panding our premises since the start, we increas-ingly felt the need for larger and more purpose-built new premises,” says Oleg Krupenin, at Shate-M Plus. “We contacted the Stalnye Zdanija company, which had a very good reputation as a result of a number of successful turnkey deliveries of very high quality buildings.”

Stalnye Zdanija has been an established Lindab Builder for 4 years and was able to offer Shate-M Plus a building solution in steel that met all require-ments in terms of quality, cost and time, but also enabled the architectonic idea to be realised. “The steel building system from Lindab allowed us to rapidly present a solution which effectively met Shate-M Plus’ requirements, entirely tailored and adapted to their needs and naturally in the form of a turnkey delivery,” says Kurkin Vasiliy of Stalnye Zdanija.

Today the 7,200 m2 distribution centre with warehouse and office is fully operational and with its red frontage and glazed office tower has become a familiar landmark in the town of Privolny, just outside Minsk. “Stalnye Zdanija and Lindab turned out to be a highly successful choice for us,” concludes Oleg Krupenin, at Shate-M Plus. “Today we have a functional, beautiful building that is entirely in accordance with our brand position here in Belarus.”

Building Systems

in brief

Deliveries of complete, turnkey plants for, respec-tively, the pharmaceutical industry in Russia and a car parts distributor in Belarus. Strict time- and budgetary parameters applied for both projects, criteria which Lindab Buildings’ prefabricated steel building system was able to meet with no problems.

HIGH TECH The plant, which was initiated by the Nycomed pharmaceu-ticals company, now a part of the global Takeda group, is an example of investments in high-tech plants that are benefiting the Russian market.

ARCHITECTURAL The LPR 1000 roof system and LPA900/LPD1000 wall system are central elements in the MSB solution supplied by Lindab, however, what nevertheless stands out most is a facade and an architectonic expression far away from what is normally associated with a “steel building”.

THE TRADE FAIR “BE POSITIVE”, which took place 19-22 February in the French city of Lyon, was entirely focused on energy and sustainability issues from a structural engineering perspective. The consulting fi rm ALLIE’ AIR, which specialises in ventilation and acoustics technology, was commis-sioned by the arrangers of the trade fair to organ-ise a themed day with the aim of increasing the industry’s awareness of the problems created by inadequate tightness in ventilation systems.

“We decided to contact Lindab, world leader in ventilation technology, with the idea of jointly de-signing and running a practical workshop on this,” explains Anne-Marie Bernard, CEO of ALLIE’ AIR. “Not unexpectedly, Lindab’s reaction was very posi-tive and the event as a whole was a great success.”

Over a number of workshop sessions, the visitors to the trade fair had the opportunity to practically construct three different systems – Lindab Vent with sealing compound, Lindab Safe with rubber seal and screw fi xing, and Lindab Safe Click with rubber seal and click fastener. ”Fortunately we were able to gather a large number of participants during the day, which demonstrates a new awareness and changed attitudes within the area,” says Benoit Golaz, Lindab.

“Tightness issues in relation to ventilation systems have really come to the fore through the markings BBC+, CERQUAL and HQE, and through the new regulationsRéglementation Thermique,” observes Anne-Marie Bernard. “A clear indication of this was the number of workshop participants, completely exceeding our expectations.”

Each workshop session started with a presenta-tion of relevant rules and regulations and the ways in which inadequate tightness has a negative effect

on the building’s properties, and not least on the comfort and health of the occupants. “We subse-quently got the participants to install the three differ-ent systems using the Lindab SR Cutter cutting bench,” explains Benoit Golaz. “This enabled the participants to experience the differences and ad-vantages of the different systems and on comple-tion of each session they all noted that the Safe and Safe Click systems delivered the tightest solutions.”

Measurement using the LT600 leakage tester took place according to the SS-a 12237 standard. “Furthermore, it was made clear to the participants – contrary to the prevailing preconceived ideas – that sealed ventilation systems do not entail any extra cost, either in terms of time or money,” Benoit Golaz concludes.

“The participants, mostly technical consultants, energy advisers and product developers, were highly appreciative of the entirely new structure of the workshop. A lot of interested visitors stopped at the stand, some for more than half an hour, to watch the participants, and then returned in large numbers to the decisive airtightness test,” con-cludes a satisfi ed Anne-Marie Bernard.

The involvement and great interest from the pub-lic immediately stimulated the ECOBAT trade fair in Paris to repeat the workshop there. In late March ALLIE’ AIR and Lindab succeeded in achieving the same convincing results there. Three cheers for sealed systems!

in brief

Two workshops at the trade fairs BE POSITIVE and ECOBAT enabled Lindab France, together with the consulting fi rm ALLIE’ AIR, to disseminate important knowledge about the benefi ts of sealed duct systems. Solutions that neither cost more not take longer to install and which deliver substantial energy-savings.

Sealed ventilation systems in focus

The importance of sealed ventilation systems has not really hit home in the French market. However, the trend is now changing

and awareness is on the increase. Lindab and the consulting fi rm ALLIE’ AIR’s workshops at two important trade fairs in Lyon and

Paris have shown the way.

TIGHT, TIGHTER, TIGHTEST The partici-pants in the workshop at BE POSITIVE were quickly able to observe that sealed duct sys-tems such as Lindab Safe and Lindab Safe Click are better on all points.

EASY FOR EVERYONEFar from all participants had experience of duct installation, but SR Cutter makes it easy for everyone to cut and subsequently install ducting.

IT IS ONLY IN recent years that the importance of sealed ventilation systems

has been taken seriously, at least in countries south of Scandinavia. Just a few years ago, typical duct leakage in commercial properties in Belgium was about 40%, a fact that has been highlighted by BBRI, a well-reputed Belgian test institute within structural engineering. “We have long been aware of the importance of airtight ventilation ducts and the opportunities they pro-vide to reduce running costs and environmental impact,” says Dirk Van den Branden, Lindab Belgium. “We therefore developed the Calc-Leak web tool in collaboration with Ingenium, a renowed energy consultant, to quickly and simply demonstrate the positive effects of investments in more tightly sealed ductwork systems.”

In connection with a large rebuilding project in the city of Zwevegem, the P&P Sileghem architect’s office was one of a number of companies engaged to design the conver-sion of a former industrial building into a modern, energy-efficient civic centre for the city. ”Calculations showed a 20% cost saving through retaining the original concrete frame,” says Pol Sileghem, architect at P&P Sileghem. “However, it transpired that this solution would place major demands on the airtightness of the duct system in achieving the highly ambitious E42 (Low Energy Building) energy class. Through Lindab we, and the technical consultant BURO II & ARCHI+I, had the opportunity to use the then newly developed web tool, Calc-Leak. It gave us, and not least the developer, a very clear picture of savings and payback-times for the upgrades to ducts from lower tightness classes (A) to higher ones (B and C).”

“Using Calc-Leak gives us a quick overview of the savings that, for example, a transition from tightness class B to C delivers, and at an early stage of the project,” says Dieter Lein at BURO II & ARCHI+I. “Based on these calculations we can then present different cost saving options to the developer. In the Zwevegem case it involved

annual cost savings in the order of 25%. It also turned out to be necessary in order to achieve the energy class of E42 that was set.”

Calculations in Calc-Leak can be performed with both very basic data and more detailed data. Building type and floor area the most common starting points for a basic calculation of savings, with supplementary data subsequently fed in for more accurate calculations when the project plan is more complete.

“As Calc-Leak is also able to map out the financial effects of substandard airtight sealing of a duct system, it is simple to present not only the actual energy saving but also the payback

time for the installation as a whole,” Dieter Lein explains further. “As in all typical projects it is very short, shorter than often thought. For exam-ple, the Zwevegem project selected a Lindab Safe Click in tightness class C. True, it entailed a somewhat higher investment cost, but Calc-Leak indicated that it would pay for itself in six months and subsequently deliver annual energy savings of around 25% compared with a more ‘traditional’ badly sealed duct system. With such interesting facts in black and white, since then we always have Calc-Leak in our tool box for show-ing energy efficiencies.”

SINCE 1 SEPTEMBER 2012 life has got easier for Lindab Ventilation’s customers

on the Danish island of Fyn. For that was when Denmark’s, and Scandinavia’s, first Flexi Shop opened – Lindab’s new concept of round-the-clock self-service centres where customers’ collect goods when it suits them best. “We are now giving around 250 people from 50 customers the oppor-tunity to optimise their working hours,” says Bjarne Dinsen at Lindab. “Now all customers can choose themselves when it is most suitable to collect their goods, during normal working hours, in the evening or perhaps on Sunday morning at four am.”

The most common products are always avail-able and stocked in the shop. “If you call up before 14.00 and order goods that are not kept in stock, we ensure that they are available for collection in the shop from 7.00 on the following day,” continues Bjarne Dinsen by way of explana-tion. “This means that, in conjunction with normal deliveries directly from the factory, our customers have simplified access to our entire range.”

“Previously we often had to interrupt our work to collect goods from the branch before closing time,” says Karsten Bormlund, Bravida Odense. “Now we can finish our work and then collect the goods when it suits us. A lot of our installations are at shopping centres where we work after the shops have closed. So it’s a relief to also be able to collect materials on a Sunday evening. Flexi Shop has absolutely made us more efficient!”

THE SYNCHROTRON Light Laboratory, MAX-lab’s latest project, the large linear

accelerator MAX IV just outside Lund, is now starting to take shape. Imtech’s (formally Sydtotal) responsibilities include all ventilation installations in this new European research centre, which will be completed in June 2016. “We have actually already been working on the first parts of the project for just over a year, with Lindab as sup-plier of both the duct system and diffusers, as well as chilled beams,” says Eddie Mårtensson, project manager at Imtech. “As usual, both deliveries and support have worked well, which is particularly important in extensive projects of this type.”

Lindab Direct will run a more detailed report on Imtech’s installations at MAX IV at a later date.

WITH LINDAB SOLO, Lindab is launch-ing a simple, but nevertheless effective and

completely new, way of dealing with ventilation, cooling and heating. Behind the product idea is the knowledge that rooms in the south-facing part of a building often need cooling, while rooms in the north-facing part need heating.

“As the first active chilled beam on the market, Solo delivers high temperature cooling

and low temperature heating in a single contigu-ous system,” explains Göran Hultmark, Lindab Comfort. “By recirculating the building’s water in a Solo-system, the return water can be mixed and distribute cooled or heated water to the parts of the building that need it. It enables Solo, together with the specially developed beam, to create a natural energy balance through a constant flow of water without needing valves, regulators or room sensors. In combination with free cooling, Solo delivers energy savings of up to 45% and both lower installation and maintenance costs.”

In combination with a cooling plant, Solo delivers a 20-30% higher COP value compared with conventional chilled beam systems. “Solo is quite simply about optimally utilising recovered energy, and is thus a very interesting addition to Lindab’s arsenal of energy-efficient green solu-tions for tomorrow’s construction,” concludes Göran Hultmark.

ATRIUM PLANA IS a new and very discreet panel solution from

Lindab. “Atrium Plana’s superior cooling and heating capacity makes it the perfect replacement for traditional radia-tor systems,” says Göran Hultmark. “The product creates an excellent indoor climate by virtue of the fact that the panel’s respective radiant cool-ing and radiant heat provide a very high level of thermal comfort.”

Atrium Plana’s aesthetic design provides a discreet solution that harmonises with the roof. Extremely low weight and smart installation options also provide for simple and fast installation.

ONLINE SALES accounted for a total of 20% of Lindab Denmark’s

sales within ventilation in 2012, however. the target for 2013 is to reach 25%. “The explana-tion for this is that we recently supplemented our webshop with Lindab Mobile Shop for smart-phones,” says Puk Spencer, Lindab. “We want to be the industry’s most available supplier for all our customers. Whilst fitters and electricians rarely have a PC with them, they nevertheless need to place orders, make purchases or find out product information simply and easily. Through Lindab Mobile Shop we are now giving them access to the same functions and range of goods as in our webshop, but now also directly on their smartphones.”

The Danish Lindab Mobile Shop was launched during March and comprises prod-ucts from Lindab’s ven-tilation range. “During the year England, Norway, Sweden and Finland will also be launching our mobile web-shop,” explains Camilla Andreasson from Lindab. “As we are rolling out Lindab Mobile Shop in stages, we can utilise previous experiences and improve the service. With Lindab Mobile Shop we are increasing our availability and thereby facilitating people’s working lives and simplify-ing construction, for all our customers who are ‘on the go’.”

IF THE COLOURS “Bamboo Light Brown” and “Palm Tree” had been available in

Rainline’s palette, the installation in the Soneva Kiri resort on the exclusive Thai island of Koh Kut might have proceeded even more quickly. “However, the owner of the resort, who also has other facilities in the Maldives and the Greek islands among other locations, wanted Soneva Kiri to really live up to the expectations that the resort creates,” says Niclas Torsell at Swedish Rain Gutter, Lindab’s Thai distributor for Rainline. “The choice has quite simply been made to

‘camouflage’ all roof drainage at Soneva Kiri and let loose the paint pots, string and bamboo, as well as leave the spirit level at home. The feel that has been created is undoubtedly fantastic, and everything works just as it should.” Soneva Kiri Soneva Kiri tested a number of roof drainage systems itself before immediately selecting Lindab’s Rainline, and Swedish Rain Gutter has now supplied a number of metres of guttering for the installation. It can actually rain in Thailand!

CLUJ PALACE IN CLUJ, Romania is once again the pearl it was when architect Lajos

Pakey designed it as the city’s casino in 1897. Since then it has had a range of uses, becoming increasingly dilapidated. “The building, occupants of which have included Cluj’s Academy of Art, became a symbol for the city and needed to be brought back to life,” says architect Adrian Borda who has had partial responsibility for the extensive refurbishment. “With a beautiful 2,200 m2 copper roof from Lindab, newly cleaned frontages and major work internally, Cluj Palace is radiant once more, now as a cultural centre.”

“Together with Lindab we had the privilege of selecting the technical solution for the roof,”

says Gheorghe Ricean at the Lindab Partner GeoConstruct. “We are always secure when Lindab is involved, and this delivery of about 10 tonnes of Seamline sheet copper was no exception. Moreover, together with their partner Alldach, the company came up with a highly effective solution to attach the roof domes.”
