As the Koenigsegg Gemera is set to make its mark on the world, I’m filled with a deep sense of pride and fulfillment. Being part of the development and design team for the vehicle systems and cooling system for the transmission has been an extraordinary journey. Seeing this incredible car come to life, knowing that I played a role in its creation, is truly a dream come true. The Gemera isn't just a car; it's a masterpiece of engineering and innovation. Every curve, every roar of the engine, every detail reminds me of the countless hours, challenges, and triumphs that were part of this project. It's a reflection of the dedication and passion of everyone involved at Koenigsegg. Working alongside such talented and visionary teams has been an honor. The experience has taught me so much and has made me even more committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in automotive engineering. The feeling of seeing the Gemera is like walking through the familiar alleys of my childhood, where I knew every detail by heart. It's a powerful reminder of the effort, precision, and love that went into every aspect of its creation. I am incredibly proud to have contributed to what is now one of the most powerful and beautiful cars on earth. This achievement is not just a milestone in my career but a testament to the spirit of innovation and excellence that defines Koenigsegg. Here's to many more groundbreaking innovations and the amazing team that made the Gemera possible!

So much has changed at AMG Systems over the last few years I wanted to bring everyone up to date a little more proactively via regular LinkedIn posts. Feel free to connect with me to view twice weekly news updates throughout this summer. And if you find these posts useful we will continue providing them here for the foreseeable future. Enjoy😊   Firstly, here are 6 HIGHLIGHTS capturing what has happened across AMG Systems in the last 4 years or so since our senior management completed a management buyout. It’s been quite a ride…. 1.     90% of AMG’s product range has now been redeveloped– a total of 37 new product series have already been launched into the market and over 500 new part numbers (a lot more on these launches will follow in future posts and in press releases we’ve recently started sending to the security trade media as well) 2.     We’ve also created a Middle East base in Dubai and a US HQ in Connecticut 3.     We have a new distribution hub at Castleford in West Yorkshire and have also built an Engineering & Technical Services Lab there too 4.     We’ve tripled the number and value of our finished goods and components inventory to ensure product availability regardless of order size. 5.     We have invested a significant amount into the latest state of the art Ethernet and PoE test equipment across all of our locations and even developed our own test equipment where devices did not exist on the market. 6.     We’ve set our sights on being the number 1 network provider of choice and want to be seen as synonymous with industrial transmission for #IPCCTV, as well as being the main source of ethernet transmission products. And over the next few months, we hope to go into all of the above areas of progress in more detail, so watch this space! #iptransmission #ipvideo #madeintheuk #britishmade #builttolast Here's a photo of the AMG Team outside our new distribution hub & offices in Castleford, West Yorkshire:

Interesting article on a fascinating topic. Thanks, Brittain Ladd for posting. There are several important lessons in this story. The rise and fall of brands such as Under Armour is a common phenomenon, and it underscores a number of things that cause brands to lose their way. I've watched their slide. It's been interesting, sad, and frustrating to watch, but not surprising because, in the end, it's a story about a business that lost track of some fundamentals. Here's what I think is important. (Not an exhaustive list, but an important list.) 1) Staying relevant to your customers. 2) Developing good quality products that fill a need and offer good value. 3) Providing good customer service. 4) Offering an enjoyable purchase experience across all your channels. 5) Being profitable while you're doing these things, and 6) For companies like Under Armour - Having a long-term growth strategy that carries you through the "fad brand" phase into being a stable player as an established brand - perhaps the area where they've missed the boat most significantly. Finally, it's critical to build a capable leadership team and corporate culture that understands and is dedicated to these things and is a positive place to work - led by someone who knows how to do this by virtue of vision, temperament, experience, and skill set. Otherwise, you go from being a profitable, high growth, noteworthy brand to an outlet store brand to just another brand on the trash heap. Under Armour needs to rebuild its team and business around these things, if it's not too late. Starting from nowhere and becoming a significant player might actually be easier than resurrecting a fallen brand that had it and lost it. Watching this drama closely to see what happens next. #leadership #corporatestrategy #corporateculture #turnarounds

🇩🇪‼️🚨 The Mercedes Star is dying. The manufacturer of the Mercedes-Benz emblem has filed for bankruptcy due to the crisis in the European auto industry. The agency writes that the auto parts manufacturer from the Daimler supply chain, Gerhardi Kunststofftechnik GmbH, has also laid off 1,500 employees in Germany. Gerhardi was founded in 1796 and began with the production of metal products. Later, it became a supplier of grilles, handles and chrome trims for the Mercedes-Benz Group.
