Head of Training & Certified Chemical Engineer

I founded Kunskapskontoret in 2012 because I saw a need for high-quality industry courses – at reasonable prices.

After 15 years as a chemical engineer, I realized how crucial it is to train employees in the work environment. I saw the connection between knowledge, awareness, and reduced accidents.

That is what drives me today: to help employers create safer, more productive, and happier workplaces.
