Hylte Paper: “Instead of throwing things away, we can make money from them”

When machines are taken out of operation, fully functioning parts can end up sitting unused or being discarded. Using Monitor Market, Hylte Paper AB can instead sell the parts on and buy used equipment instead of new.

“Instead of throwing things away, we can make money from them by selling them. So Monitor Market is great,” says Dag Andersson of Hylte Paper AB.

Hylte Paper AB, located in Hyltebruk, manufactures newsprint and other paper products. Monitor Market provides Hylte Paper a place where spare parts that are no longer needed can be sold to other industrial companies. The company has already started using the marketplace and has, among other things, listed a laser scanner for sale.

Monitor Market also makes it possible to find equipment and parts from other companies.

“Instead of buying new, we can buy used items that work just as well.”

In this way, parts that are no longer needed by one company can continue to create value for another. Dag Andersson describes Monitor Market simply:

“It’s like Blocket (Sweden’s largest online marketplace for secondhand goods) for the manufacturing industry.”

He sees a clear need for a marketplace dedicated to industrial spare parts and equipment.

“There is no one place where you can look for spare parts and equipment specifically for the manufacturing industry. That’s why I believe Monitor Market can fill that gap,” Dag concludes.
