Yesterday (May 30), Lars Lundin was appointed SVP of Paper for the company and will take up his new role no later than December 2018. He succeeds Nils Ringborg, who will remain part of Group management as advisor to the CEO.
"Lars has shown himself to be an excellent manager of change, with years of experience in both production and marketing. His collection of skills will be invaluable in the continued drive to develop our business and I have no doubt that Lars will take Holmen Paper to new heights", said Henrik Sjölund, President and CEO of Holmen.
Lundin has amassed thirty years of experience in the pulp and paper industry with previous employers such as Stora Enso. His most recent post was CEO of paperboard manufacturer Fiskeby Board.
"I’m impressed by the journey that Holmen Paper has made in changing from newsprint paper to today’s strong position in book and speciality paper. Over many years in the industry, I’ve followed Holmen’s progress from a distance and now I really look forward to being part of the team. I hope and believe that my experience will hone Holmen’s competitiveness even further", stated Lars Lundin.
