From finance to people

Annika supports the human perspective at KOCKUMS MASKIN

After 45 years in finance and accounting, including 15 years with her own business, Annika Grünfeld took a new career step. She wanted to be a part of a workplace again and started as a temporary employee at KOCKUMS MASKIN. After her first year working with finance at the company, she got the opportunity to take up a new field as responsible for HR.

- I love new challenges and even though I’m quite a senior I still want to learn new things and grow both as a person and as an employee. KOCKUMS MASKIN is a great workplace with a very long and proud history – but also with great opportunities to develop our way of working, our culture and our human perspective, explains Annika Grünfeld.

As part of the BIRN Group, KOCKUMS MASKIN builds its culture on four core values: One team, passion, respect and responsibility. One of Annika Grünfeld’s responsibilities as HR Manager is to ensure that these values are integrated into everyday work life.

- Many people here at KOCKUMS MASKIN have worked at the company for a long time, and to me, that is a clear sign that people enjoy being here. It was also my own impression from day one. With our focus on teamwork, leadership, and achieving results together, I look forward to continuing to develop and embed our values at KOCKUMS MASKIN together with my colleagues,” says Annika Grünfeld.

As one of the oldest companies in Ronneby Municipality, founded in 1742, KOCKUMS MASKIN is a well-known company in the local area.
- Everyone knows someone who either has been working or is currently working here, says Annika Grünfeld:

- KOCKUMS MASKIN is an important and quite unique business in the municipality and in the south of Sweden. People are curious about what we do and how we work, and I like sharing my experiences from the company. I’m really proud to be a part of KOCKUMS MASKIN, and I’m happy to take part in this journey of development in everything from our approach to HR, culture, and finances to automation of our production.
