With more than 30 years at Rydahls, Patrik has helped shape both customer relationships and ways of working. His journey mirrors the company’s evolution – from local production to a global partner in friction and braking systems.

After more than three decades with the company, Patrik represents a unique combination of experience and customer insight. Over the years, he has worked in both purchasing and sales, giving him a broad understanding of the business and how its different parts connect.

“It has been a rewarding journey with many great connections, both internally and with customers.”

Customer interaction has been a consistent thread throughout his career. Through close collaboration with clients in industries such as automotive manufacturing and rail transportation, he has developed a strong ability to understand needs – something he considers one of his key strengths.

“I feel confident in understanding what customers need.”

Much has changed since he first started. Rydahls has grown from a small-scale production operation into a global player, while market demands have increased – particularly in terms of materials and certifications. Yet, according to Patrik, the foundation remains the same.

Being curious, asking questions, and working closely with customers are essential to finding the right solutions and creating long-term value. This is also where Rydahls’ strength lies – in the combination of strong relationships, high quality, and reliable delivery performance.

With his extensive experience, Patrik also emphasizes the importance of knowledge transfer within the organization. To continue evolving, new employees need to be curious and engaged, while experience must be documented and preserved.

He sees the future as positive, both for the company and the industry as a whole.

 For Patrik, his years at Rydahls have been more than just a job – they have been a continuous journey of learning, development, and strong collaboration. Today, the company stands as a full-service partner in friction and braking systems, built on the very experience and commitment that he represents.
