EFCEM member profile with Christer Askerot, chair of BFS

 

 

Christer Askerot is chairman of the Swedish equipment suppliers association BFS (Branschföreningen för Storköksleverantörer), and account manager for UNOX SpA. In this short member profile interview, he discusses how BFS helps to promote its members' common interests regarding the design, production and marketing of industry products, both technically and economically, and represents the industry in Sweden.

 

1. What are the biggest challenges facing the industry?

One major challenge is the growing focus on preparedness in Sweden – ensuring we can deliver and maintain critical kitchen systems even in crisis situations. At the same time, we face demands for sustainability, digitalization, and skilled labor.

 

2. How is BFS helping members overcome that?

BFS gives us a common voice, shares knowledge about new regulations and technologies, and helps me stay ahead in a fast-changing market.

 

3. How does EFCEM help support BFS too?

EFCEM strengthens BFS by working on EU-level issues like standardization and environmental regulations. That helps us in Sweden stay aligned and influence early.
