Yesterday, we filmed a Swedish-language CEO interview with Alexander, and I took the opportunity to inquire about a topic that has been discussed on the forum: glass food storage solutions. Alexander mentioned that the company already has a small glass-based food storage series, but generally, it hasn’t gained significant traction (I had personally missed/forgotten this).
The manufacturing of glass-based products requires significant investments, and additionally, the emissions generated during their production and freight-related emissions due to their weight are challenging. The company has outsourced the manufacturing of this product group, and generally, glass-based product manufacturing capacity seems to be very limited in Europe. However, based on this, I interpret that the company has the readiness to expand its glass-based product offering if consumers were to broadly shift in this direction.
Finally, I must also admit that glass storage solutions have increased in our home as well. ![]()
Otherwise, the interview contained a lot of repetition of topics already covered in Finnish-language interviews. However, Alexander seemed very pleased with the appointment of the new European Sales Director, and especially that individuals can be grown into larger roles within the company. More resources are also being allocated to growth in Germany. I eagerly await the day when we get tools for automatic transcription and translation of such videos, so that these too become more widely usable than they are now.
