If FK Bolaget's customers are allowed to decide, it is definitely plastic drums that they want. A welcome demand, because it also entails a number of advantages for the company's own production processes.

FK Bolaget is one of three companies within the Swedish AMO Cable Group. During 2010 the company introduced Axjo America's plastic drums in sizes 31 1/2" and 39 3/8".

 "We primarily offer customer-specific cable solutions, and our customers often demand that the cable be delivered on a plastic drum", explains Ann-Marie Erlandsson who is Sales Manager at FK Bolaget.

 It is a demand from its customers that the company is more than happy to comply with - not least because it is a solution that also entails many advantages for the company's own business operations.

"We are extremely positive about the use of plastic drums because they simplify many aspects of our manufacturing process. Production runs smoothly because the drums always maintain perfect symmetry. Our staff members really appreciate the fact that the drums only weigh half as much as the wooden drums did, and they don't need to worry about nails or splinters that could damage the product or cause personal injury. From a purely marketing point of view I really appreciate this solution because the plastic drums are much neater in appearance, while the printed logo also helps to enhance the market's perception of our trademark.
