The high-tech metals company Boliden has signed an agreement as an official partner of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun 2027.
— We are proud and delighted that Boliden, a major and strong employer within Sweden’s basic industry, is engaging in the World Championships, says Patrik Blomquist, Commercial Director of Falun 2027.
In December 1924, the Boliden ore deposit was discovered—one that would eventually prove to be Europe’s largest and richest gold deposit. This led to the founding of Boliden AB. Now, more than 100 years later, Boliden will once again be part of the pursuit of gold—this time as an official partner of the World Championships in Falun 2027.
Boliden is a high-tech metals company with its own mines and smelters, working long-term to ensure society’s supply of base and precious metals, guided by the vision of being the world’s most climate-friendly and respected metal supplier:
— The World Championships in Falun will be a fantastic event, hopefully with great Swedish success. We are proud to enter into a partnership with the organizers, where together we will build something to look forward to—and something to remember, says Åsa Jackson, Executive Vice President People and Sustainability at Boliden.
The partnership between Falun 2027 and Boliden reflects a shared ambition where innovation and tradition go hand in hand.
— There is strong local and regional pride that the championships are coming to Falun, and we are very pleased that a major and strong employer within our vital basic industry has chosen to engage in the World Championships in Falun, says Patrik Blomquist, Commercial Director of Falun 2027.
On February 24, 2027, the festivities of the World Championships in Falun will begin, and the official partner Boliden will be on site to showcase the company and its operations.
— This is a partnership that means a great deal to us, both locally and nationally. Together, we are creating the conditions for a World Championship that will leave a lasting legacy—long after the final gold medal has been awarded, says Patrik Blomquist.
