12. Tell us about Lowenco A/S. Its vision and
mission.
There are many different thoughts of how to change
the future, and at Lowenco, we are designing some of
them with our cold storage facilities. We are one of
the leading manufacturers of cold storage facilities,
and we have formed a strategy on how to change the
expensive, inefficient, and non-environmental friendly
temperature-controlled storage. The solution has been
developed under the brand names CON20 and LSSU
and more cold storage facilities are under development.
At Lowenco, we produce high-end cold storage facilities,
refrigerated units, and freezers from well-known quality
components in our facilities in Denmark, but we are
also able to deliver custom-made freezers and cold
storage facilities where GMP guidelines must be applied
worldwide.
We have strong experience with cold storage facilities for
highdemandmarketslikethebiotechandpharmaceutical
industries. We are performing Factory Acceptance Tests
including performance tests documented according to
customer requirements and to GDP.
At Lowenco we have unique product solutions to the
pharmaceutical market. A product that is so much
more than just a product. We are not only offering
Large Scale ultra-low temperature freezer storage
solutions but solutions where the highest quality goes
hand in hand with the highest possible safety - safety
for the people handling the products going into the
very low-temperature storage area of -80C and safety
of the products been stored – and a unique low energy
consumption per litre of product stored. In every
product we are developing – saving energy is essential –
without any reflection on the quality and performance.
We want to help, making the world a better place to live.
The name Lowenco comes from Low Energy Cooling –
and our slogan is – Creating a better world – one unit at
a time. Every time we can replace existing solutions used
in the market with our innovative solutions with much
lower energy consumption, we are helping to reduce the
CO2 footprint – and creating a better world.
Our values:
We are building our daily operations on our core values:
We are creating success through team efforts and
competencies are essential for the future development
of Lowenco.
Lowenco A/S
13. Knowing the customer’s expectations and needs is half
the way – the remaining is producing solutions that help
the customer in reaching their objectives. Innovation
and out-of-the-box thinking define Lowenco – the only
area where we aim for predictability is in the quality of
our solutions. At Lowenco, we believe that we all have a
common responsibility to make the world a better place.
I am closely following the trends in the market and our
segment of product solutions. But so far, no competitors
have moved forward with solutions like ours. They stick
to the old way, traditional up-right freezers as well large
walk-in storage solutions. Our innovative prefabricated
modular, scalable, and highly flexible solutions are still
unique to the market – and with our daily development
and focus on optimizing, I am comfortable that this
will remain for many years. With more and more
installation made – no longer only in Europe, but also
in the US and Asia, we are expanding into new markets
and becoming more and more visible in the field. This
has been discovered by more and more clients – and the
best marketing everyone is when clients speak positively
about you to a new potential client.
And what’s great is, more and more of our existing clients
buy more and more times, for expansions the facilities
– but also for new sites. We are becoming “the internal
worldwide site standard” for more and more clients –
which tells me, we have a unique product as well great
employees acting very professional and making a great
job at the client sites – for us to welcome back repeatedly.
Mission
Lowenco is revolutionizing the general perception of
how temperature-controlled storage units are built and
optimized for both medicine high-end food storage.
Vision
Lowenco wants to be an internationally recognized
supplier of cold storage facilities, who supports and
challenges global innovation and energy optimization
for the benefit of companies, the environment and the
individual.
My vision is to bring Lowenco to the position of the
most recognized and trusted supplier of high-end cold
storage facilities for pharmaceuticals and biotech firms
around the world.
But not only the best-in-class product, but also keep
the position of being the most innovative and “green”
solution for the benefit of our clients, the environment
and for the individual – all of us. Creating a better world
– one unit at a time.
What were the restraints you faced at the
time of conception?
I’m not the founder of Lowenco – but I have been “on
the sideline” from nearly day one. Before I came to
Lowenco, I was General Manager of another company,
supplying temperature transmitters to Lowenco. And
after my first meeting with the owner of Lowenco at
the very early start of Lowenco, I clearly remember my
own “speak to myself”, when walking from the Lowenco
workshop to my car; “This is a company I really would
like to be a part of”.
Three years later I became a part of
Lowenco.
I was original hired as Sales Director / CCO with
one single message from the owner; “Build-up a sales
organization and grow the company”. This is exactly
such a challenge that drives me – a challenge I couldn’t
reject and just needed to take. Starting from scratch –
and build-up a vital part of a company for growth, to
bring brilliant product solutions to a very interesting
14. market like the pharmaceutical and healthcare segment.
Being a new company with new products and
technologies, trying to get into a more conservative
market is not always easy – and it takes some time to
convinceclientstogofornewtechnologiesandanewway
of looking at ultra-low temperature storage solutions.
But with more years of hard work, the breakthrough has
come.
I founded the strategy for the sales and growth and
executed it over the following years – and we are
now seeing the result of many working hours, travels,
meetings and consistency – a company in extremely
growth. Until my promotion in 2020 to CEO, I have had
the freedom to ack and develop the organization as I
preferred with full support from the owner. This support
has just continued after the official promotion to CEO
from the owners as well the Board of Directors.
What novel services do you provide to the
buyers? Why should one prefer you?As
mentioned above.
We are revolutionizing the market of Large Scale ultra-
low temperature storage solutions down to -80C. With
full focus on safety – the safety of the people as well the
product – and at the same time thinking “green”. Lowest
CO2 footprint as well power consumption per
stored kg/l.
What personality traits, skills and
education do you think is necessary to
improve and elevate your business?
Success is when my staff succeeds – and I as a
leader leads to get my employees to fulfil their full
potential. When they are a success – first then, I’m
a success.
Happy and inspired people – makes better results –
better results make success – success makes happy
and inspired people. ……and the circle are closed
– and the wheel is rolling and keeps rolling… faster
and faster. The right people at the right positions in
the organization is the key to success. As a leader –
you are only as strong as the weakest point of your
organization. Means your job is to get that weakest
point as great/high level as possible.
A company is nothing without its employees.
Means – you need as the leader to have a focus on
your employees. Empathy, “reading people” is a
must for future growth. Business knowledge will for
sure also be needed to succeed.
15. Market knowledge is also needed – at least in the
team.
I am ensuring the culture as well as developing it, by
being visible in the company. Be there for the staff, taking
the lead and show people the way forward. We have only
open office environments; means I am sitting side by side
with the colleagues and not being “the boss in his office
behind the desk”. I am the culture owner and culture
carrier, but again it is about the people around you.
My behaviors and actions will be looked at at all time
– therefore I am aware of how I act and what I tell. My
job is to constantly be developing the culture. First, when
I came to Lowenco, I saw a culture of great passion,
proudness, agility focusing on getting the perfect
product of the highest possible quality developed. Which
still today is the backbone in Lowenco? But I discovered
fast that focus on the market, market trends and needs;
a more business mindset so to say was missing. So this
became very early my plan and mission, to develop the
culture to become more business-minded – but without
slacking/giving up the backbone – so, therefore, I haven’t
changed the culture with my leadership – but instead
have developed it.
Share about your journey from the
commencement.
Original I am educated as Electronic Technicians and 15
years ago graduated with an Academy Profession Degree
in Leadership and Management.
I have been in sales for the last nearly 20 years. Always
technical related sales, where I have benefited from
my technical background. It is, and have always been
important to me, that I have been able to “talk the same
language” as my clients. The last nearly 10 years have
been in management positions as Sales Manager, General
Manager, Sales Director/CCO – and now CEO.
I have always had – and will continue having, ambitions
and clear goals with my career. If I can contribute to the
benefit of the company and its development and growth,
as well the development of the people around me – I’m
in, having a mission and gives full speed. When I have
the feeling, that I have contributed to the company and
the people with what I can contribute – I’ll need to move
forward.
In my previous company, I started as Sales Manager
(General Manager) with full responsible including P&L,
for the sales subsidiaries Denmark. After a period of 5
years of decline in turnover, I was brought on board to
make the change. After analyzing the markets, the trends
as well the internal staff. I made a strategy on how to get
this turned. – I managed to turn the 5 years declining to
4 years with year-on-year growth, even with changing
the team “on the fly”.
When people stuck in “we are used to doing”, “we have
tried this and it is not working”, “this is not possible” –
they cannot be a part of my team. If a change needs to be
like her, you cannot just do like you did yesterday – then
the decline will just continue. By building up a brand new
motivated team – this was possible. I managed to create
and develop a team of strong individual businessmen,
who took ownership of their own job – and my role
becomes more and more a supporting function to my
team. And this is exactly what I understand of leadership.
My most important role as leader and manager is, to get
optimal out of each individual person and to develop
them to become “self-propelled” – and to a point where
they do not need me along with them any longer. And as
mentioned earlier – when I’m no longer needed, it’s time
for me for the next chapter.
My personal goals and ambitions have since my early
20’s been very clear and straightforward; Sales Manager
when I’m 30, CEO when I’m 40, both reached at an age
of 28 and 40. The plan is now to continue the next 10
years as CEO, and then I will see what I am up for then.
Whether this will be continuing working all day as CEO,
stepping down, working with Board work in various
companies – or just relaxing – who knows, only the
future can tell.
But for me, it is very importantBut for me, it is very
important to have goals and milestones. – Maybe you
are not reaching all of them – but having a vision and
missions in life, I believe is very important for personal
development. And this is something I’m trying to tell my
staff and even trying to give to my kids.
As mentioned earlier, goals and ambitions have always
been a big part of me – at home as well as professional
and as a business leader. When I go into something
– it’s with 110% focus. When I started my career as
Electronic Technician Trainee, I discovered early, that
I didn’t want to continue on this road and couldn’t see
myself repairing televisions etc. when I become 50. But
of course, I finished my educated – this is what I have
been brought up to “finish what you have started”. And
after finished education it was clear to me that I needed
to meet people, talk to and with people – and I moved
into sales, and have not regretted it.
16. But ambitions were there at an early stage in my career.
So, I decided to startup education after work – in the
evenings – with a clear goal – to have a management
education. I took different classes at business schools
over a period of 6 years besides my full-time career
job, with more and more responsibility. Graduated
with an Academy Profession Degree in Leadership
and Management, it was time to go for a management
position – which I did. And things have moved fast ever
since.
At my previous job at GM, several satisfaction surveys
as well more leader evaluation was made. – My staff
evaluated me – and so did my CSO. The feedback from
the staff as well from the CSO was very nice readings –
andthisjustconfirmsthewayIwouldliketoleadmystaff.
There has been some very nice comments and scores –
and have been my best recognitions. A recognition from
employees which I’m leading, coaching and manage
every day – is the ones knowing me best – and therefore
the best recognition to get.
For sure the development I have been a part of the last 4
years at Lowenco, has also been a great recognition from
the clients. – The trust in me and the products I’m talking
to them about – and the figures from last financial year
talks its own language. With me developing the strategy,
executing the strategy and the only one during sales –
I think I do have a huge influence in this development
and journey Lowenco have been on over the last years
– developed the company from an EBITA of € 0.27M
the year before to € 8.5M. last financial year. Of course,
the promotion to become CEO at Lowenco is for sure
also a huge recognition – the founder and owner hands
over his “baby” to me – with full confidence that I can
lead the firm and bring Lowenco to the next level and
beyond.
How do you manage the promotion of your
project over social media outreach and
email campaigns?
Due to the business, we are in, email campaigns are not
possible. We use direct contact as well social media like
LinkedIn.
17. What do you think about the expansion of
Lowenco A/S?
The expansion and growth of Lowenco is a part of our
strategy. We want to be present more locally worldwide,
with more local offices.
What steps do you take to handle last-
minute or unexpected setbacks before and
during any project?
Being available at all times for my staff – as well for our
clients. Involvement, focus and interest in all the projects
help me to be informed, and therefore easily can support
the staff with my feedback, comments and experiences.
This will help to avoid last minutes setbacks.
Can you describe arising trends you've
noticed HEALTHCARE industry?
For sure the healthcare industry is in focus all over now
due to the COVID pandemic.
But in general, the healthcare market/industry is a
growing business, due to more and more diseases, more
and more research, and investments for a new medicine
to help against the diseases etc. And with a growth in
this market, the need for more cold storage facilities like
ours is also growing.
Please tell us if there is a useful solution to
the current COVID19 scenario? Why?
Our Large Scale ultra-low cold storage solutions are
absolutely very very useful for the COVID19 vaccines.
And we are also already in use at more places for storing
the COVID19 vaccines.
Since we are making solutions down to -80C, our
solutions are ideal for vaccines and liquid medicine
requires ultra-low temperature storage in general.

26. The Impression Of
Online Sales Amidst
COVID-19
T
he widespread adoption of information and
communication technologies (ICT) in recent
decades, notably the widespread usage of the
Internet, has enhanced the usage of e-commerce
as a distribution channel. Many industries have
experienced remarkable structural shifts as a result of
the expanding significance of e-commerce. As shown
by the travel and tourism and media industries, these
developments are already causing fundamental
restructuring in the way some items are created,
sold, and acquired. In most industrialised countries,
business to consumer e-commerce accounts for a
modestportionofoverallretail.However,evenduring
the recent economic slump, it has shown excellent
growth rates, indicating a significant expansion in
the years ahead.
The scenario is always shifting. The number of
persons deemed safe to congregate in one location
has decreased from thousands to hundreds to ten.
Many restaurants, bars, movie theatres, and gyms
are closing in major cities. Meanwhile, many office
workers are confronting new obstacles as they
transition to full-time remote employment.
E-commerce is predicted to provide numerous
benefits. It provides a helpful and simple platform for
consumers to purchase a larger range of items and
services from more sellers at presumably lower cost.
Consumers may find and compare many various
offers for the same goods using search engines and
price comparison sites, which drastically minimise
search expenses.
Although the introduction of the online channel has
not resulted in reduced pricing in general, it has had
a substantial beneficial impact on total sales since
a large percentage of consumers regard the online
channel to be more convenient. As a result, while the
online distribution channel snatches some traditional
sales, it also engages consumers who prefer the online
route.
Panic Buying and Coronavirus: What
You Need to Know
People began stockpiling supplies as word of
COVID-19spreadandtheWorldHealthOrganization
proclaimed it a pandemic. They purchased medical
goods such as hand sanitizer and masks, as well as
home necessities such as toilet paper and bread. Soon,
both physical and online retailers were straining
to keep up with demand, and supply price gouging
became commonplace.
The first is that COVID-19’s global expansion has
been accompanied by a great deal of confusion and,
at times, contradictory information. When people
receive conflicting advice from many sources, they
are more likely to over-prepare than under-prepare.
The crowd mindset is the second factor to consider.
Observing other individuals stocking shelves and
then discovering a scarcity of essential products
confirms the decision to fill up. Nobody wants to be
placed in a situation where they have no resources.
Is it Safe to Order COVID-19 Tickets
Online?
Some customers have expressed concerns about the
safetyofreceivingtheironlineorderswhenitbecomes
26 JUNE 2021 SwiftNLift
27. clearer how infectious COVID-19 is. Experts have
discovered that depending on the material, the virus
can remain on surfaces for three hours to three days.
(Note that conclusive data are difficult to come by in
the early stages of the virus, and these figures may
alter as specialists continue to investigate it.)
COVID-19, on the other hand, is unlikely to survive
on your purchased things from the moment they were
packed until you received your order (especially with
the slowdown in the delivery system). And because
shipping conditions are difficult for COVID-19, it’s
unlikely that you’ll be exposed through the shipment
itself.
The World Health Organization also addressed
the issue, stating that receiving parcels from areas
where COVID-19 cases have been reported is safe.
“The danger of an infected person contaminating
commercialitemsislow,andthedangerofcontracting
the virus that causes COVID-19 from a package
that has been transported, travelled, and exposed to
various conditions and temperatures is equally low,”
according to their website.
Conclusion
We are all in a state of upheaval right now.
Your clients are adjusting their behaviour as a
result of trying to adapt to unusual times with few
footholds. As a business owner, you’re dealing with a
lot of the same uncertainty while attempting to meet
the requirements of your customers and yourself.
Yourreactiontotheconstantlychangingcircumstance
may vary depending on your sector and target
audience. You have a greater understanding of your

ImprimisRx compounded medications may be
ordered by a prescribing physician only when there
is not a sufficient commercially available drug to
meet a patient’s clinical need. Prescribing physicians
may contact ImprimisRx’s pharmacists to discuss
whether one of our compounded medications may
be suitable for the clinical needs of a patient.
Regardless of a patient’s ability to afford an FDA-
approved commercially available medication, FDA

34. The Rise of Startups
The Rise of Startups
In The Time of Crisis
In The Time of Crisis
COVID-19 has had a negative influence on the
investing sector as a whole. While firms in all sectors
are feeling the effects of COVID-19, start-ups
have been particularly hard hit, and are currently
confronting a slew of significant obstacles from both
a business and an operations standpoint. Except
for those start-ups engaged in the provision and/or
delivery of 'critical services,' educational technology,
gaming, or streaming services, most start-ups have
seen a fall in supply and/or demand. Regardless of
the foregoing, flaws in the supply chain network have
posed hurdles for all start-ups.
In many nations, pandemics are at the forefront
of national risk-management systems. Pandemic
influenza, for example, is at the top of the UK
National Risk Register's natural hazards matrix,
and new infectious illnesses are labelled as a major
concern. Each outbreak of a potentially hazardous
infection, viewed as a medical condition, motivates
authorities to ask a logical set of questions and dust
off a menu of response choices that may be executed
in stages as needed.
The COVID-19 epidemic has had an unprecedented
impactonthebusiness,accordingtoapollof250start-
ups, with 70% claiming their firm has been harmed
and some closing down operations. COVID-19 has
had a significant impact on 70% of start-ups, with
12% shutting down operations and 60% operating
with significant disruptions.
The effect of COVID-19 on Startups
The value of investments in India is estimated to have
dropped to $0.33 billion in March 2020 from $1.73
billion in March 2019, a drop of roughly 81.1 percent.
34 JUNE 2021 SwiftNLift
35. There has been a 50 percent decrease in the number
of companies supported, with 69 firms in March 2020
compared to 136 firms in March 2019. According to
additional reports, a number of investors have backed
out of current funding rounds anytime between mid-
February and the end of March 2020. As a result, one
of the primary obstacles for start-ups is currently
obtaining funding, which has resulted in cash flow
concerns for many.
The lockdown has had an impact on not only
everyday business operations, but it has also pushed
several start-ups to prepare contingency plans to
reduce personnel and staff compensation. Several
start-up founders have also made pay cutbacks in
order to minimise their losses.
The entire potential damage is heavily influenced by
the length of the crisis. Only 47% of businesses plan
to be open in December if the crisis lasts four months
rather than one, compared to 72 percent if the crisis
lasts only one month. There is also a lot of variation
in how vulnerable firms are to the crisis. Personal
services like retail, for example, reported worse
chances of surviving the pandemic than professional
services or other sectors with little need for face-to-
face contact.
Denial, cover-ups, and governance
failures are all examples of governance
failures.
Playing up or down crises, and keeping open for
business as long as possible versus attempting to
reopen fast, are examples of different response
techniques. Many governments have a tendency
to dismiss or cover up red signs in order to avoid
economic or political consequences, but this
approach can backfire.
China is struggling to get its economy back on track,
with tens of millions of workers now in quarantine
and parts in short supply. Countries with well-honed
crisis risk-management procedures do a better job
of halting the spread of illness, albeit they are not
immune to political and economic pressures.
COVID-19 has also demonstrated how governance
problems can result from inaction or overzealous
action by ill-prepared authorities attempting to
maintain or restore order. The spectrum undermines
citizen and country confidence and cooperation. To
block or slow the spread of the virus and compensate
for weak individuals and communities, centralised
control measures may appear to be necessary.

42. Creating A
Workflow To Reach
Business Goals
I
t's simple to set good company objectives. Implementing a strategy to persuade your staff to work
toward those objectives is a whole different story. When it comes to directing people while working
toward business goals, it might be one of the most difficult difficulties that entrepreneurs confront.
Many firms set objectives but then fail to devise a strategy to achieve them. You and your team will
wonder if what you're doing is actually helping you achieve your objectives if you don't have a map.
Goal setting, when combined with goal mapping, guarantees that your team is on track to meet your
company's objectives.
For most entrepreneurs, defining goals is the easiest part. Setting objectives is a two-step process that
begins with formulating the goals and ends with breaking them down into smaller milestones.
Your ultimate objective is the aim. It's the culmination of your efforts. Here's some sound advice on
setting realistic company objectives: Make sure your business objectives are in line with your long-term
objectives as an entrepreneur. Create goals that will not bind you to your business if your goal is to create
an organisation where your
staff run the show and you
merely show up on Monday.
Milestones are the steps that
your objective is broken down
into. If your ultimate aim is to
raise sales by $150,000 in the
coming fiscal year, you may
set quarterly sales goals, which
would lead to four milestones.
Be conscious of market
swings that may have an
impact on your organisation
when setting your milestones.
If 60% of your sales occur in
the third and fourth quarters,
make sure your milestones
reflect this.

43. Workflow
Each strategy has a procedure that must be
followed in order to be carried out. Determine
what your customers want, look at competitive
products, find holes in the market, make the
necessary improvements, and relaunch the
product.
Tasks
Each workflow's to-do list is called a task.
The tasks are how you get things done, while
the workflow is what you do. Invite your top
customers to participate in a focus group
and then examine the results with your
team to brainstorm new ideas is one of the
responsibilities involved with evaluating
customer demands.
It would be a waste of time to come up with
workflows and tactics for each strategy at the
same time, because your strategies may change
as a result of your milestone results. Allow
yourself time to work through goal mapping
and enlist the help of your team. Allow your
employees to shine since they are your most
valuable asset.
Starting the process with an annual goal-
setting meeting is a wonderful approach to
get started. Discuss milestones and strategies
for achieving those goals during the kickoff
meeting. Give your team time to construct the
workflows associated with each strategy once
your milestones and strategies are in place.
Then get back together for goal-mapping
meetings to talk about your ideas and make
any required changes. Then, send them off to
work on the workflow-related tasks.
