Sandvik 150th anniversary at Göransson Arena

Ahead of Sandvik's 150th anniversary, we were commissioned by PS Occasion to design and deliver a complete design and technology solution for the anniversary at Göransson Arena in Sandviken.

The assignment covered the anniversary party itself – a bespoke show with artists including Jerry Williams, Måns Zelmerlöw, Lotta Engberg and Anders Berglund. The show ran five nights in a row to accommodate all of Sandvik's 10,000 employees.

In addition to the anniversary party, we also delivered solutions for Framtidsdagarna – a large exhibition throughout the arena showcasing the full range of applications and industries Sandvik supplies to.
