Micropol Fiberoptic is advancing its growth plans by investing in a new production facility at a prime location along highway E6 in Halmstad The new building will significantly boost production capacity by introducing more workstations and increasing the number of staff enabling the company to take on larger and more complex projects “Our current facility in Åled does not allow for further growth,” says Peter Ljungkvist “The new facility will allow us to expand and diversify our business enabling us to broaden our current offer of tactical communication — for example repair and refurbish customers’ platforms will be increased.” The new premises will cover approximately 4,600 square metres and will include areas for production The development represents a major milestone in the company’s evolution and will strengthen its position in the fibre optics industry The strategic location along highway E6 offers excellent logistical advantages providing improved accessibility for staff The investment underlines Micropol Fiberoptic’s long-term commitment to growth and service enhancement Construction of the new facility will commence in May 2025 and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026 while MTA Bygg och Anläggning Halland AB has been appointed as the contractor for the project Cookie Policy Copyright © 2025 Defence Industry Europe | mady by: geekon.eu

But then the water heater at Sri’s home broke, creating a life-changing 'aha' moment. The tinkerers began applying controls they’d been developing for the motorcycle to water heaters, and Intellihot was born.

Zach Halmstad saw fairly early into his job managing the Apple computers on a college campus that colleagues who worked on Windows had many more tools at their disposal. He realized there was an opportunity to develop comparable tools for Apple devices. The result was Jamf, a software company whose products help IT professionals manage Apple devices in corporate environments. Now based in Minneapolis, Jamf raised $468 million in a 2020 initial public offering and has more than 2,300 employees. Midwest Moxie's executive producer is Audrey Nowakowski.

firm’s new downtown office building and the community involvement pursued by the company and its co-founder which makes software to manage Apple devices again made headlines last month when it announced that it had received a majority investment from Vista Equity Partners a technology investment firm based in Austin What does this mean for this homegrown company now that it is owned by outside investors What opportunities does it present for the Jamf and its 700 employees Volume One talked with Halmstad about what the future holds for the company he founded Zach Halmstad: We sold a majority of the shares of Jamf to Vista Jamf as an entity is still exactly the same We concluded that Vista’s proposal offered a great milestone for our employees we felt we had a unique moment in time to partner with a company that shared a deep understanding of the software industry and what makes a great technology company We felt other ownership options could distract us from continuing our mission We believe this partnership with Vista will help Jamf accelerate its mission to help organizations succeed with Apple While we retain the possibility of going public one day the idea of remaining an independent private company was more appealing at this time The have an incredible amount of expertise that they bring to the table Jamf will now be in a family with almost 50 other high-performing software and technology companies that can be partners I will continue be a significant shareholder going forward I have not had any operating role at Jamf since Dean Hager became CEO over two years ago so my role as a support and promoter of Jamf in the community and economy will remain the same It is critical to have a board of directors that has the right skills and experience for that phase of life Our board got pretty sophisticated by the time of the Vista transaction and I found that I was most useful as an industry connector and supporter of Jamf’s values system and org most of which took place outside of the boardroom almost entirely due to my confidence in Dean and the whole Jamf org and I’m forever grateful to Dean for the extraordinarily smooth transition Since I stepped out of a formal role two years ago I will be available for anything that Jamf wants me to help with and will sustain relationships with all of my friends and colleagues from Jamf that I’ve made around the world The 2018 plans we had before Vista showed interest are the exact plans that Vista is expecting us to execute next year This means continued hiring in all of our offices to meet these plans We hope to be more aggressive with our growth including looking at acquisitions we might make of smaller companies I’ve been asked about this almost non-stop since the investment was announced The performance of the Eau Claire office should give everyone confidence in the future here Our Customer Success team is largely based out of Eau Claire and they deliver better than anybody in the industry Our customer satisfaction and customer success is one of the key attributes that drove Vista’s interest We also have large groups of our product and engineering teams in Eau Claire and this knowledge is incredibly valuable to our organization I expect us to continue to grow our presence in Eau Claire I believe this is an opportunity to put Eau Claire on the radar of other companies other companies should look to what we are doing and we hope Jamf grows so large and respected that others will look to us as an example of what can be done from our key regions around the world it will give me an opportunity to work on some more projects that we want to see happen in Eau Claire We are also starting a foundation that will be one of my primary focuses going forward There are some new projects that we want to start exploring under Pablo [Properties] which is the company that we started to build the Jamf building We have a lot of ideas that we are brainstorming on right now We’ll continue to invest in Eau Claire and now have a better opportunity to do that I do think that Jamf benefits from the same developments that are getting Eau Claire in the news This is why we’ve been so active in the redevelopment of downtown It creates a better community for the employees of Jamf to live in This year we have had at least 12 people relocate to Eau Claire and my hope is that we continue to make it a more and more attractive city to come live in I fully expect Jamf to continue to have a long-term presence in Eau Claire Vista is a company that invests in growing healthy companies and is committed to strengthening the communities where their companies operate They were interested in Jamf because of everything that we do and the people throughout Jamf are the most important part of that I am confident that they will be a good steward of Jamf and we would not have entered into this agreement if we didn’t feel that way Subscribe to our Newsletters How to

academic appointment Lund University provides funding as a member of The Conversation UK View all partners To someone unfamiliar with the Swedish response to COVID-19, this mask ban might sound shocking. After all, while masks are not foolproof, there is evidence that indicates that they do help reduce the spread of COVID-19 especially in situations where maintaining distance is impossible – such as schools The municipality eventually backed down. But new examples of mask bans keep popping up in Sweden. Librarians in the affluent town of Kungsbacka, for example, have been instructed not to wear masks How on earth did we end up in this situation everything the Halmstad and Kungsbacka officials have said about masks is in line with the Swedish public health agency’s statements These local mask bans are a logical product of nine months of consistent anti-mask statements by the Swedish state which we argue is an example of poor risk communication most Europeans are now used to wearing masks indoors whether in the supermarket on public transport or when visiting the doctor It has become such an ingrained habit that we can easily forget that for the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic the main message was the rather simple “wash your hands” and the rather more difficult “don’t touch your face” The Swedish public health agency has consistently stated that masks are ineffective and that their use could actually increase the spread of COVID-19 – a common view at the beginning of the pandemic but a rare one now In July, the health minister, Lena Hallengren, explained that the Swedish government did not have a culture or tradition of making decisions about protective clothing such as masks and that her government would not overrule the public health agency Sweden’s mask policy even went beyond its national borders, into international anti-mask activism. In April, the country’s chief epidemiologist, Anders Tegnell, wrote an email to the European Centre for Disease Control (which happens to be based in Stockholm) warning it not to recommend the use of masks The reasoning was that this “implies the spread is airborne” which would “seriously harm further communication and trust” How did we get here? Back in spring 2020, when SARS-CoV-2 was still a new and poorly understood virus, the Swedish communication around COVID-19 was a simple and consistent tripartite mantra: wash your hands This will be familiar to people in many other countries and is a textbook example of effective risk communication The WHO guidelines for effective risk communication in public health crises emphasise that uncertainties should be explicitly stated that the information is consistent and easy to understand and that the messaging contains specific and realistic recommended actions The initial stages of Swedish risk communication ticked two of these boxes which was the case in many countries which also chose very simple messages Swedish authorities maintained their anti-mask position until December, when the prime minister, Stefan Lofven, announced a U-turn on the use of masks on public transport But Lofven’s new policy was not a simple rule to wear masks when travelling it recommends the use of masks from 7am to 9am and 4pm to 6pm for those born “in 2004 and before” who do not have a reserved seat It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that compliance has been low, with only half of commuters actually wearing masks during rush hour And it’s not just the general public. Two weeks after the recommendation was introduced, the director of Sweden’s public health agency, Johan Carlson, was spotted without a mask on a bus during rush hour. When asked about his failure to comply with his own recommendations, he said “I simply failed to notice that the time had become commuting time,” which nicely illustrates the problem with overly complex risk communication If the head of the public health agency is incapable of following his own rules one can hardly blame the public for their lack of compliance the Swedish government’s initial risk communication (the tripartite mantra) was straightforward and easy to understand authorities had been warning of the risks of mask-wearing for months So the public transport announcement was not only confusing due to its complexity but also due to the fact that its content directly contradicts the mask guidance from March until December it’s no wonder that libraries and schools in Sweden are sending mixed messages about whether people should wear masks It’s the product of months of bad risk communication on a simple public health measure that has been widely adopted elsewhere. This failure to communicate could have very worrying results: potentially increased infection in a country which is on the brink of a third wave About  .  Contact  .  Donation In a bustling town square in Halmstad, Sweden, beneath the surface of Lilla Torg, an archaeological revelation has come to light. Recent excavations led by the Cultural Environment of Halland uncovered a total of 49 graves dating back to the medieval period all concealed beneath a former convent that functioned from 1494 to 1531 one particularly stood out—a burial housing the remains of a towering elite man Archaeologists meticulously unearthed a skeleton measuring an impressive 6 feet 2 inches clad with a remarkably well-preserved longsword resting on his left side An X-ray examination unveiled an intricate inlaid decoration featuring two crosses This discovery prompted experts to assert that the presence of such a weapon indicated the deceased’s high social standing or elite status archaeologists promptly took measures to preserve and further study the sword It was carefully wrapped and dispatched to a laboratory for detailed analysis while ongoing excavations at Lilla Torg continue once part of the Franciscan monastery of Sankta Annas during the 15th century Earlier excavations in 1932 had revealed remnants of the monastery kitchen and church and this recent exploration brought to light additional sections of the monastery church The sword find at Lilla Torg confirms that Sankta Anna’s church was used as a burial place for people of noble birth during the 35 years of Franciscan operation on the site This conclusion aligns with the historical timeline of the Franciscan order’s presence further corroborated by the discovery of two additional graves adjacent to the elite man’s one belonging to an adult woman and the other to a man located approximately 270 miles southwest of Stockholm Halmstad’s historic center took shape in the 1320s as part of the Kingdom of Denmark leading to subsequent repurposing of its land for purposes such as an armory and hospital and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById("ak_js_1").setAttribute("value",(new Date()).getTime()) Check your DNS Settings.
