The workshops in Kiruna, Lule\u00e5, Pite\u00e5 and Jokkmokk are equipped with the most modern machinery. Over the last year, the company has invested in a powerful boring machine for efficient hole-making, in a fibre laser cutting machine that is unique in its kind in the Nordic countries, and in the most advanced plasma cutting machine in Norrbotten County. The company has also invested in an on-site nitrogen plant that generates the gas for the fibre laser cutter. In addition, NMV has in the past year confirmed its commitment to the work environment, and to further meeting customer and market demands on safety, by appointing a Health and Safety Coordinator during 2014.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"grid_16 sidebar additional-bar\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NMV Group comprises the parent company Nybergs Mekaniska Verkstad AB, based in Kiruna, and its subsidiaries and branches NMV Lule\u00e5, NMV Pite\u00e5 and NMV Jokkmokk.
