Strategy
In connection with the generational change in 2015, we went through a thorough strategy process, which has led us safely through the first five years but third generation at the helm. In December 2020, we implemented another strategy process, in which we have set a new ambitious direction for SØBY towards 2023. The key words are credibility, digitalisation and growth.

SOBY's Values
Production
For several decades, we have focused on high-tech production. Today, the machine park includes CNC punching machines, robot welding, robot bending and our own CNC machining center - in short, we punch, bend and weld pretty much everything ourselves. We are behind our product. We can do this because we have shaped the steel with our own hands and machines, which will eventually become the end product. In a SØBY solution, you will find our fingerprints on 90 percent of the product, while special components from selected subcontractors make up the last 10 percent. It provides quality, coherence and, a high degree of flexibility in our solutions. We have our own test facility, here we sample solutions and simulate different situations. At the same time, we develop and test new products.
