\u201cWe\u2019re delighted to welcome Anders Bj\u00f6rklund as Nolato\u2019s new President and CEO. Anders brings a valuable combination of broad industrial expertise and operational experience across multiple sectors, along with a strong keenness, drive and determination to develop Nolato. He\u2019s been an important contributor to the strategies that have emerged in the Group in recent years and is particularly apt to lead Nolato into its next development and growth phase,\u201d comments Chairman of the Board Klas Forsstr\u00f6m.<\/p>\n

Anders Bj\u00f6rklund has longstanding industrial experience and has held a number of leading positions at Sandvik, including as Managing Director of Kanthal \u2013 a division within Sandvik Materials Technology. He has also previously held positions at Gunnebo Industries, Volvo Construction Equipment and Ericsson.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m truly grateful for the trust the Board has shown in me. Nolato is a company with more than 80 years of history, and is positioned today as a strategic partner to a great number of globally leading companies in a variety of industries. I look forward to shouldering my new role and, alongside all my colleagues, to further strengthening Nolato\u2019s position and thereby creating value for both clients and shareholders alike,\u201d comments Nolato\u2019s incoming President and CEO Anders Bj\u00f6rklund.<\/p>\n

Christer Wahlquist has worked at Nolato for over 30 years, holding positions including President of Nolato\u2019s Medical Solutions business area, and in his role of President and CEO since the beginning of 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Board, I sincerely wish to thank Christer Wahlquist for his longstanding and successful leadership, and significant contribution to Nolato\u2019s development. Christer\u2019s leadership has been characterized by in-depth industrial expertise and a great commitment to Nolato\u2019s development and staff. During his time as President and CEO, Nolato has been transformed and developed from a medium-sized industrial company into a strong international industrial group today, with production on three continents and leading offerings,\u2019\u2019 continues Chairman of the Board Klas Forsstr\u00f6m.<\/p>\n

To ensure continuity, Christer Wahlquist will stay on in an advisory role until December 31, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter more than 30 years at Nolato and over a decade as President and CEO, the time is now right for this transition. I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve achieved together and am convinced that Nolato is well-positioned for a strong and successful future. Furthermore, it\u2019s gratifying that Anders Bj\u00f6rklund, with whom I've worked closely in recent years, has been appointed to succeed me and I look forward to supporting the transition during my remaining time at Nolato,\u201d comments Christer Wahlquist, President and CEO of Nolato.<\/p>\n

Nolato will initiate a process to recruit a new President for the Engineered Solutions business area.<\/p>\n
