KALMAR CORPORATION, TRADE PRESS RELEASE, 5 MAY 2026 AT 9.30 (EEST)
Kalmar secures first customised training simulator order from SSAB Oxelösund
Kalmar has concluded an agreement to supply a customised training simulator for heavy material handling to SSAB Special Steels Oxelösund in Sweden. The order was booked in Q2 2026 order intake and the delivery is scheduled for Q4 2026.
SSAB currently relies on a fleet of around 50 Kalmar machines in their operations, alongside 100 machines under a Kalmar Complete Care service contract. The new customised simulator will be utilised to train drivers to safely and efficiently handle containers, plates, and the heavy-duty Kalmar Super Gloria reachstacker.
The customer’s decision to choose Kalmar was driven by our long-standing relationship, excellent ongoing collaboration, and Kalmar’s ability to provide a tailored, highly customised training solution that directly meets the needs of their extensive fleet.
Camilla Falk, Head of Transportation, SSAB: “Ensuring the safety and skill of our operators is our top priority. This custom Kalmar simulator will allow our drivers to train in a risk-free environment, mastering the handling of plates and containers before stepping into the real machines.”
Conny Eliasson, Global Technical Trainer, Kalmar: “We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with SSAB through this innovative training solution. Delivering this customised simulator demonstrates our commitment to driving excellence and enhancing safety and productivity for our customers’ operations.”
