STOCKHOLM, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Husqvarna Group’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a corporate climate action organization that enables companies and financial institutions worldwide to play their part in combating the climate crisis. This confirms alignment of the Group’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets with the SBTi Net-Zero Criteria.

The validation covers both Husqvarna Group’s net-zero target and updated near-term target, encompassing greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2 and 3. According to the validation by the SBTi, Husqvarna AB commits to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050, and to reduce absolute Scope 1, 2 and 3 greenhouse gas emissions by 60.28 percent by 2030 and by 90.0 percent by 2050, from a 2015 base year. This includes direct emissions from the Group’s own operations, indirect emissions from purchased energy, and the most material categories of value-chain emissions, where the majority of Husqvarna Group’s climate impact occurs.

“Having our climate targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative is an important confirmation that Husqvarna Group’s climate targets are both ambitious and credible under the SBTi’s criteria. Sustainability is a long-standing strategic priority for Husqvarna Group, and this validation provides a clear, science-based pathway for our continued work to reduce emissions across the entire value chain,” says Glen Instone, CEO at Husqvarna Group.

The validated climate targets provide a framework for Husqvarna Group’s continued sustainability work and are implemented as part of the Group’s overall business strategy. The validation also strengthens transparency towards customers, investors and other stakeholders regarding Husqvarna Group’s long-term climate efforts. Further details on the Group’s climate targets, methodology, scope, base year and progress are available in Husqvarna Group’s Annual Report, accessible at www.husqvarnagroup.com.

SHANGHAI, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sourcing complex medical device components is rarely a solo job. Building a secure supply chain requires direct input from product engineering, quality control, and executive procurement teams. Sending your entire group to the Medtec China exhibition ensures that all departments align perfectly on crucial manufacturing decisions.

As the premier event for medical device research, development, and manufacturing, this gathering provides the ideal environment for corporate buyers to evaluate global suppliers. Mark your calendar for September 1-3, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (Halls N1-N4). You can secure free early bird tickets by registering your team between April 1 and August 30. If you wait until the event begins, on-site registration will cost 100 RMB per person. Register your team today to claim your free passes, explore groundbreaking innovations, and streamline your next major product launch.

The Strategic Advantage of Attending as a Team

When you step into a massive Shanghai medical expo, the sheer scale of the event can easily overwhelm a single buyer. Spanning multiple massive exhibition halls, the floor features thousands of advanced raw materials, heavy machinery displays, and compliance software solutions.

Divide and Conquer the Show Floor

Bringing a corporate group allows you to multiply your sourcing power. A single buyer simply cannot evaluate a new biocompatible polymer supplier while simultaneously watching a live demonstration of robotic assembly arms on the other side of the convention center. By sending a specialized team, you can divide and conquer. While your procurement manager negotiates bulk pricing for extrusion tubing, your lead mechanical engineer can inspect smart factory automation tools in a completely different pavilion.

Cross-Functional Vendor Evaluation

Approving a new manufacturing partner requires multiple distinct perspectives. An engineer must verify mechanical tolerances, a quality control specialist needs to review ISO 13485 certifications, and a buyer has to assess minimum order quantities. When your team evaluates a vendor together at the booth, you can ask all these critical questions simultaneously. This unified approach prevents the endless email chains and internal delays that typically plague international sourcing.

How to Coordinate a Seamless Corporate Visit

Planning a productive overseas trip for multiple stakeholders requires strict organization. If your team arrives without a cohesive plan, you risk duplicating efforts and missing out on key suppliers.

Set Clear Group Sourcing Goals

Before you book any flights or hotels, hold a comprehensive pre-trip planning meeting. Identify the specific bottlenecks currently slowing down your production lines. Create a master list of required components and delegate exact sourcing targets to specific team members.

Define technical requirements: Gather all CAD drawings, material specifications, and regulatory benchmarks.Establish budget limits: Ensure the procurement team knows the exact target price points for raw materials and contract manufacturing services.Identify target exhibitors: Review the official online exhibitor list together and highlight the companies your team absolutely must meet.

Manage Logistics and Registrations Early

Ensure every member of your group registers during the free early bird window to avoid unnecessary on-site fees. When booking travel, secure hotel accommodations as close to the Shanghai New International Expo Center as possible. Minimizing morning transit times keeps your team energized and focused on the highly demanding work of vendor negotiation.

Tips for Maximizing Team Productivity at the Event

Once your group arrives at the exhibition, you must balance individual exploration with coordinated team strategy. Protect your time to secure the highest possible return on your travel investment.

Assign Specific Engineering Pavilions

The exhibition floor groups vendors by their specific engineering capabilities. Leverage this logical layout by assigning your staff to the zones that match their daily expertise:

R&D Engineers: Focus on the advanced materials pavilions, searching for shape-memory alloys, specialized ceramics, and rapid prototyping services.Quality Assurance Experts: Dedicate time to the testing and metrology sectors, evaluating visual inspection cameras and compliance management software.Supply Chain Managers: Target the contract manufacturing and packaging halls to negotiate lead times and sterile delivery options.

Schedule Daily Debriefs

Continuous communication prevents team members from operating in silos. Schedule a mandatory debriefing session at the end of each day, either over dinner or at a quiet coffee shop. Use this time to share findings, compare notes on promising new suppliers, and identify any overlapping interests. If an engineer finds a highly capable components manufacturer, the entire team can plan a joint follow-up meeting at that booth for the following morning to finalize a capability audit.

Prepare Your Team for Manufacturing Success

Attending a major medical device exhibition as a unified corporate group entirely transforms your procurement strategy. It eliminates internal communication barriers, speeds up the vendor vetting process, and helps you build a much more resilient supply chain.

Do not let your competitors outpace your manufacturing capabilities. Review your upcoming project pipelines, assemble your core sourcing team, and secure your group registration for Medtec China 2026. Empower your staff with the tools and contacts they need to secure the best manufacturing partnerships in the global market.
