North European
Modularization Network

The North European Modularization Network (NEM) was established in 2015 between a few organizations as a designated space to discuss and share experiences on modularization.
Over the years, NEM has grown into an ambitious, international network for organizations with a shared interest in exploring and facilitating modular strategies. Our members currently hold a total of more than 2000 man-years of modularization experience, which comprises the greatest pool of competence globally. In the network, we support each other on our journeys towards modular transformation and growth and aim to facilitate continuous development and dissemination of modular strategies.

What is modularization?

Modularization is a companywide strategy – a holistic approach that expands across the entire value chain and is praised for its potential to increase efficiency and competitiveness.

Modular strategies entail targeted adjustments of product ranges, manufacturing processes, and market approaches, which also impacts customer relations due to increased flexibility and thus increased possibilities of product customizations that meet varying customer needs.
