Who are you?

I am Helena Wallner, a music lover from the city where the sun always shines, Karlstad. I work in technical sales together with a whole team of nice colleagues covering the north part of Sweden, from V?rmland to Lappland. Being located in Karlstad, I take care of the area from Karlskoga to V?ster?s, providing automation solutions in close cooperation with the customers and handling everything from initial discussions to quotes, orders and presentations of new products.

How long have you worked at SMC?

I started my work at SMC in the end of May 2020, so it is almost 4 years now. Having the best job one can have; I still hold the same position as when I started and as a matter of fact I have been in the business since 1996.

What do you find most rewarding about working at SMC?

Besides getting to meet all these fantastic customers daily, I must say it’s the colleagues and the products.

The cooperation within SMC, I love how we help each other, give tips and work together, both within the team and with other groups.

The familiar atmosphere at SMC is something special. Not to mention the products, I mean this quality in combination with the enormous range, it’s unique.

Why are you interested in working specifically in your field?

I love meeting the customers and help them getting the best possible solution, it’s so fulfilling! I′ve been working with technical sales my whole life, the last almost 4 years within SMC. Our portfolio is impressive, and I get to work in so many different areas. I really got a good injection starting to work at SMC!
