Career Evolution: From Trainee to Production Manager
For nearly two decades, Christian Brodén has been a key member of the Elos Medtech family. Starting as a trainee at Elos Precision in 2002, Christian’s passion for technical challenges and his unwavering dedication have propelled him through a variety of roles, leading to his current position as Production Manager at the Timmersdala site.
Christian’s journey began at the age of 16, when he joined as a trainee while still attending school. After completing his exams in 2004, he began working full-time in Timmersdala, but his career was far from linear. He has left Elos twice to explore new ventures, yet each time he found his way back, drawn by the sense of belonging and purpose that Elos offers.
Embracing Technical Challenges and Growth
Christian’s tenure at Elos Medtech has been defined by his love for technical innovation and problem-solving. From his early days as a CNC operator to roles working with maintenance, production engineering, automation, and robotics, Christian’s expertise has expanded across multiple disciplines. His commitment to learning has been a driving force throughout his career: “Put me in a corner and challenge me to come out. I love that,” he says.
In 2021, Christian took on a new challenge as a Technical Account Manager, moving into the field of orthopedics and reporting to colleagues across the globe. This experience expanded his skills in sales and business development, further rounding out his already impressive technical background. His dedication and adaptability led to his promotion in November 2023 to Production Manager, where he now oversees a team of 50 employees.
A Culture of Openness and Support
For Christian, what stands out most about Elos Medtech is the open-minded and supportive culture. “You can say anything, even if it’s wrong, and no one will be mad if you make a mistake. Instead, you learn from it,” he explains. This ethos of continuous learning and improvement is a cornerstone of life at Elos Medtech, where employees are encouraged to be adventurous and push boundaries in their roles.
Christian also highlights the strong sense of collaboration within the company. Whether discussing strategic plans in a meeting or assisting a colleague on the shop floor, Christian values the wide variety in his role and the chance to be involved at all levels. “One moment I could be discussing a 600 million budget, the next I’m helping solve a faulty machine part in the factory,” he says with a smile.
The Essence of Elos Medtech’s Culture
For Christian, Elos is more than just a company – it’s a family. “This is my home,” he says. The opportunities for growth, the sense of belonging, and the drive for innovation are what make Elos Medtech a special place for him. “If you love technical stuff, this is the place to be,” Christian advises.
Advice for Future Team Members
For those considering a career at Elos Medtech, Christian’s advice is simple: “Be hungry. Be curious. Challenge yourself, and if you can’t solve something on your own, don’t hesitate to ask for help.” His words capture the spirit of continuous growth and support that defines Elos Medtech.
