Renholmen AB in Byske, Sweden, will have a new CEO from the start of the new financial year, when the role will be taken over by Per Jonsson, the current head of project management at Renholmen. The current CEO Gunnar Marklund will be retiring in 2019, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.
Per worked for many years as a fitter and installation manager at Renholmen before changing profession and becoming self-employed. However, contact was maintained with Renholmen through his company Legosvets, one of Renholmen’s subcontractors. Per has also been involved in running companies within the timber industry, which required frequent collaboration with sawmills. In 2016, he returned to Renholmen in the role of head of project management, with responsibility for the project managers, the service technicians and the purchasing department, and he has created an efficient work flow through the organisation.
Gunnar Marklund has worked at Renholmen since 1974 and has been CEO for just over 14 years. He will continue to serve as CEO until the end of April, i.e. the end of the financial year, and will subsequently be on hand to act as sounding board for the new CEO until his retirement in early 2019.
Renholmen AB is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of lumber-handling equipment for the sawmill and lumber-processing industry.
