As part of an optimizing of the Rottneros Group, Sweden, a new organization has been introduced by the company this week with a group-­wide sales organization and a site manager for each mill. At the same time, a group-wide safety function has been established, which becomes part of the Rottneros Human Resource Department. The purpose of the new organization is to create an increased focus within each sub-area.

"Through the new organization, the mills can focus wholeheartedly on productivity, quality, environment, costs, and completion of Agenda 500. The common safety function also means that the company will be able to get even more out of its high-­priority safety work in the future, while it can be conducted in an efficient way," said Lennart Eberleh, president and CEO of Rottneros.

In conjunction with the introduction of the new organization, Kasper Skuthälla will assume the role of the group's sales and business development director, in addition to his current position as managing director of Rottneros Packaging.

"The new sales organization will strengthen our market presence, continue to work on our niche Strategy, and take advantage of the common aspects of our different products. With a background in various parts of the value chain, Skuthälla has excellent opportunities to do a very good job," Eberleh noted.
