Gate 7’s Long-Standing Partnership with Volvo Construction Equipment: A Journey of Collaboration and Innovation
Since 2005, Gate 7 has proudly served as a tier 1 supplier and technical partner for Volvo Construction Equipment, providing specialised solutions tailored to the unique demands of the construction industry. This partnership has expands across multiple regions.

From humble beginnings with Volvo’s German division, this partnership has expanded across multiple regions, including the United States in 2008, and France and Sweden in 2015.
A technical partnership built on trust and expertise
Gate 7’s role as a technical partner goes beyond supplying decals; it involves close collaboration with the Volvo team to develop innovative solutions. Over the years, Gate 7 has undertaken numerous projects for Volvo, continuously pushing the boundaries of materials science to meet the extreme environmental challenges that Volvo machinery faces, such as vast temperature ranges.
One notable example is the extensive research and development Gate 7 conducted on vinyl materials. In Sweden, where machinery must endure particularly harsh, low-temperature conditions, we carried out rigorous testing to identify vinyls that could be applied and remain durable in freezing temperatures.
Responsive supply chain management
To ensure seamless production, Gate 7 holds stock for Volvo, always maintaining a minimum batch inventory. This ensures that Volvo can continue its operations without disruption, even in unpredictable circumstances.
Driving sustainability forward
Sustainability has been at the forefront of Gate 7’s relationship with Volvo. Volvo has been instrumental in encouraging us to adopt more sustainable practices, leading to significant changes within the business. These include a reduction in plastic packaging, the adoption of LED dryers to save energy, a shift away from solvent-based inks, and the use of electric vehicles for decal deliveries. This mutual commitment to environmental responsibility highlights the forward-thinking approach both companies bring to the table.
Supporting industry giants
While we’re proud of our long-standing partnership with Volvo, we’re also a trusted supplier for other leading construction equipment manufacturers such as Bobcat and Caterpillar across Europe. Gate 7’s expertise, technical capabilities, and dedication to quality have made them a key player in the global construction equipment supply chain.
