Nolato has appointed Anders Björklund as new President of the Industrial Solutions business area and as a member of Nolato’s group management. He will take up his new position at the latest at the turn of the year.

Anders Björklund has held several senior management positions at Sandvik Group over the past decade and most recently came from a position as President of Kanthal, a division within Sandvik Materials Technology. Björklund has previously also had positions at Gunnebo Industries, Volvo Construction Equipment and Ericsson, among others.

“We are very pleased to be able to welcome Anders Björklund as President of the Industrial Solutions business area and as a member of our group management. I am convinced that his solid experience, deep industry knowledge and leadership qualities will be great assets for Nolato in our continued global expansion,” says Christer Wahlquist, President and CEO of Nolato.

“I am really looking forward to taking on the role as President of the Industrial Solutions business area and accepting the opportunities and challenges that it entails. To further contribute to strengthening Nolato's position as a strategic partner to a large number of globally leading companies in a number of different industries feels really stimulating”, Anders Björklund comments.

Former President of Industrial Solutions Johan Arvidsson decided in April to assume a new role outside the Group. Christer Wahlquist, CEO, is interim President of Industrial Solutions until Anders Björklund takes over.
