Tuesday and the second day in Atrvidsjaur for the people of Mtarfa. The weather was beautiful and the day filled with  interesting visits with companies and workplaces in and around Arvidsajur.



One group chose to go to parts of the "wood industry cluster" in Glommersträsk. Åke Karlsson guided them at the door factory GK Door:
-We mostly export to Norway and Japan, said Åke.
