Andreas Sundnes runs Norwegian industry from Spain
Many Norwegians choose to move abroad, but Andreas Sundnes (43) shows that it is possible to combine a life in Spain with running large companies in Norway. Even though he lives in a warmer climate, he remains closely connected to the Norwegian business sector through his factories.
Sundnes owns and operates factories in both Kongsvinger and Bergen. These businesses are important to their local communities and provide jobs for many Norwegians. Despite the distance between Spain and Norway, he monitors the daily operations at the factories closely.
His company is not only dependent on local production but also has an extensive network of suppliers throughout Norway. This creates ripple effects in the Norwegian economy and demonstrates how modern technology makes it possible to manage complex processes from abroad.
Sundnes's customers are found not only in Norway but all over the world. This makes the company an international player that exports Norwegian goods to the global market. His success is an example of how modern communication is changing the way we work today.
The story of Andreas Sundnes illustrates a new trend where physical presence in the office is no longer a requirement for leading large industrial companies. By combining a base in Spain with Norwegian production, he has found a way of working that functions for both him and the companies.
