In the small industrial town of Törefors in the municipality of Kalix, the woodworking industry has been a central part of life since the 19th century. Today, Snêk, a manufacturer of high-quality kitchens, continues this proud tradition. Under the motto “Timeless Values,” Snêk combines the best of traditional craftsmanship with modern technology to create affordable kitchens that customers can design and assemble themselves.
Snêk helps you bring your dream kitchen to life by combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. Their solid pine kitchens offer endless possibilities, allowing customers to decide on the kitchen’s design themselves. Using a smart design tool, you can create your kitchen directly online. The kitchen is then manufactured according to your specifications and shipped directly to your home without any middlemen.
“Together, we create high-quality kitchens that are timeless in both design and durability,” says Fredrik Karlsson Peraldi, CEO of Snêk.
Their unique modular system also makes it easy to assemble the kitchen yourself, which not only reduces costs but also gives customers a sense of involvement and control over their project.
However, striking a balance between tradition and innovation places high demands on a flexible and efficient organization. That is why Snêk chose to implement Hartic as its tool for systematically addressing workplace safety and health.
Open dialogue and clear goals
One of the most important priorities for Snêk has been to create a workplace where people feel good and safe. To achieve this, the company has always strived for open dialogue and clear goals for all employees. With the help of Hartic, they have succeeded in further strengthening this.
“The most important thing for us is that everyone feels comfortable talking to one another, and that we have an open dialogue among everyone in the company. With Hartic, we can act more quickly and address issues right away as they arise,” says Fredrik Karlsson Peraldi.
With Hartic, Snêk gets a quick overview and can immediately address any challenges that arise. With full visibility, they can stay on track and continuously improve both their work culture and production.
“We’re seeing really good results. For example, we can quickly call a staff meeting when we see that it’s needed and take immediate action based on what we observe. This helps us avoid getting stuck in negative thought patterns and instead focus on highlighting the positive and continuing to improve,” he says.
Why did you choose Hartic?
For Snêk, choosing Hartic was a natural step.
– It feels like the right tool for us, not only because of what the system helps us with, but also because the company truly invests in its customers. For a company that prioritizes long-term quality, it was important for us to find a tool that reflects those values.
Fredrik Karlsson Peraldi says that corporate culture isn't something you build overnight.
“It’s about continuous effort and small steps over time. In an agile organization like ours, we can’t work in annual cycles. We need to take small, ongoing steps to build a strong and sustainable culture,” he explains.
Finally, he emphasizes that corporate culture is one of the most difficult aspects to change, but that Hartic has helped them create the kind of environment where employees thrive and the company can continue to grow.
