Holmen Paper, Stockholm, Sweden, has named Nils Ringborg to succeed Henrik Sjölund as president and CEO of the company, effective April 9. Ringborg is currently sales and marketing director at Holmen Paper.
"Nils and his team in the sales and marketing department have done a fantastic job of developing sales during a difficult period. Holmen Paper is gaining a leader with an extensive network and a good sense of our business. And the move also sees another experienced and strategic force joining the group management team," said Sjölund.
"We have a clear strategy where the Swedish business will be further focused on specialty paper made with virgin fiber, and the Madrid business will continue to produce newsprint with recovered fiber as its raw material," said Ringborg.
Work is under way to recruit a new sales and marketing director for Holmen Paper.
