Hello and welcome to the studio Thomas. Hi Bella. Very excited to have you here and to continue the conversation I had with Annika about GC 1250. A great pact with innovation, right? Yeah, and as Annika mentioned, I mean GC 1250 that we are releasing in this core pack is our new first choice grade in milling indexable when machining in titanium alloys. And titanium alloys, you know, is present in aerospace, defense space, really high value added applications. And as I understand, this new grade can be explained best by looking at three pillars. You mentioned innovation, but then also sustainability and strategic alignment. So innovation, what can you say about that? Yes, innovation. The most important, I think, stands for our core. I mean, the GC 1250 consists of an ether core substrate, which stands for heat toughness, high heat toughness, predictability and resilience. And together with the Certivo multi-nano layer coating, we have a really competitive solution for this application area. It's really about embracing new technology here. And also sustainability is an important strategic pillar, right? Yeah, by avoiding the use of ruthenium, we drastically reduced the product carbon footprint compared to our competition in this application area. So that's a really sustainable value for us. And we also heard a little bit from Annika already that GC 1250 fits very well into our strategic ambitions, right? Yeah, since it's targeting aerospace, defense, space, it supports our SP 2030 strategy, and it enables growth to reach our targets by 2030. So we have a very exciting launch coming up, but it doesn't stop here. We also have a new grade for hardened steel milling, GC 1210. Yeah, GC 1210 is the final release of new PVD grades. It, as you say, targets hardened materials, ISOH, and could be used in both wet and dry machining. We know some customers have challenges and fear when machining is dry to the risk of fire. But now with the performance we have in wet, we can avoid that and recommend that for those customers. It consists of the Sertivo multi-nino layer coating and the substrate is the same as existing GC 1010. And we have been very productive, as I understand, because now we're releasing a whole great chain, right? Yes, we do. With these two new releases, we have, within two years, which is very impressive, I should say, released a complete new PVD grade offer within Milling Indexable, targeting five different isomaterial groups. Wow, that's very impressive and I think really shows the strength of Sandvik Coromant and what we are capable to achieve. Yes, for sure it does. You also brought a brand new animation. Should we have a look? Yes, let's do it. Great. Thomas, back to you. One last question. What is your final message? I mean, now the final message I think what you bring with you is like I said, within two years, we have released five new grades for five different ISO material groups within Milling Indexable. So now we have no excuses to target new opportunities when each of the material groups in new customers and existing customers. So it's about getting out there and winning new business. Yes. Great. Thank you so much for joining me here, Thomas. Thank you, Bella.
