On March 18, SIG PM held its 2026 Annual Meeting in Mjölby, hosted by Toyota Material Handling Manufacturing Sweden AB.

The day began with an impressive site visit at Toyota Material Handling’s manufacturing facility. Members got a first-hand look at the highly automated production lines, including the new powder coating plant — a significant investment in both quality and environmental performance. The level of automation throughout the facility was striking, demonstrating how Toyota Material Handling continues to push the boundaries of modern manufacturing.

After lunch, the group moved to Linköping University for the formal annual meeting, where the board reported on the past year’s activities and the direction ahead for SIG PM.

Thank you to Toyota Material Handling for hosting us and for an inspiring look behind the scenes. And thank you to all members who participated — we look forward to seeing you at our next event!
