"Daily Direct Deliveries" innovators receive Atlas Copco’s Peter Wallenberg Award

April 11, 2002

Stockholm, Sweden, April 11, 2002 - This year Atlas Copco’s prestigious Peter Wallenberg Marketing and Sales Award will be presented to three recipients. The trio has spent the past several years developing the innovative concept of Daily Direct Deliveries (DDD), a distribution system that gives Atlas Copco unique sales and marketing advantages over its competitors.

The Peter Wallenberg Marketing and Sales Award recognizes the most innovative and successfully implemented method in the field of sales and marketing. This year’s recipients are Åke Larsson, Rental Service Corporation; Lars Larson, Atlas Copco Rock Drilling Equipment; and Gösta Henningsson, Atlas Copco Tools and Assembly Systems. At the time all were employed by Atlas Copco Tools and Assembly Systems. Together, the team developed the innovative concept of DDD. By eliminating local inventories and instead focusing on lean and flexible production, Atlas Copco achieved an outstanding delivery service. The system comprises a superior sales feature service and makes it easy for customers to do business with Atlas Copco. 

The three award winners spent years implementing and refining the system to a full-scale customer service center, Power Tools Distribution, PTD. Located in Belgium, PTD serves 110 countries. The DDD concept means that all customers, big or small, independent of location have access to the total range of products, accessories and spare parts within 24 hours. 

Initially PTD served one division. Ten years later, it serves five divisions in two business areas and 10 production units. Thanks to the DDD system these Atlas Copco divisions can offer the broadest product range in the industry, in terms of reliability and speed. 

Dr. Peter Wallenberg, honorary chairman of Atlas Copco AB, worked for the Group for 20 years before serving as Chairman of the Board from 1974-1996. The Peter Wallenberg Marketing and Sales Award will be presented at Atlas Copco’s annual general meeting in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 29, 2002.
