Production Engineering Manager

About Evondos Group

Evondos Group is the European market leader in medication management, with over 500 employees working in the Nordics, UK and the Netherlands. Evondos' services enable tens of thousands of people who require medication to receive support in proper medication use through our automatic medication dispensers. This improves and enhances patient safety and medication adherence. Evondos helps clients live independently in their own homes, reducing the pressure on home care services, allowing them to focus on more complex care needs.
