As the new Managing Director, my ambition is to increase profitability and create sustainable growth. This ambition will be realized through the development of the company's competitiveness and efficiency as well as an increased customer focus, says Johan Brengesjö and continues: 

- I will also work hard to promote a collaborative culture across the entire organization by, among other things, encouraging the exchange of ideas and initiatives between profiles with different skills and experiences. The success of a company is always a team effort, and I therefore look forward to working with the team to set the strategic direction of the company, he concludes.
