ARBURG trade partner Rafo AB celebrates its anniversary

50 years of working together in a sales and service partnership is a remarkably long time. This is precisely what ARBURG’s Swedish distributor, Rafo, has achieved from 1976 to the present day. ARBURG’s Managing Director for Sales and After-Sales, and Steffen Eppler, Vice President Sales Europe, presented a certificate to Anders Jungert and Johan Gotthardsson, the duo responsible for sales and technology at Rafo AB in Mariestad.

A byword for reliability in Sweden since 1971

Rafo was founded in 1971 by Bengt Rahmberg (Ra) and Bo Folkesson (Fo); five years later, the company began its partnership with ARBURG. When Stefan Folkesson, the son, took over the reins in 1984, a fundamental strategic shift took place which was to prove highly profitable: From then on, the company focused more strongly on its core business of machinery and equipment for plastics processing, thereby establishing itself in the Swedish plastics market. In addition, customers were immediately provided with comprehensive support from expert staff as well as training courses and a fast and efficient spare parts delivery service. This continues to win over Rafo’s customers in Sweden to the present day. Around ten employees now cater to the needs and requirements of Swedish customers.
