LightLab Sweden AB strengthens its organisation in Sweden and Taiwan
LightLab Sweden AB, which is developing a new, energy-efficient lighting technology without mercury or other substances hazardous to the environment, has carried out a number of measures that are designed to strengthen and focus the organisation during the industrialisation phase.
Joakim Natt och Dag has joined the company in a consultancy capacity, located in Taipei. Joakim has extensive experience of purchasing and strategic supplier evaluation. For several years, Joakim has been responsible for strategic purchase of material and components and strategic supplier selection at Sony Ericsson.
Most recently Joakim has been stationed in Taipei, responsible for HTC's purchase function. Joakim is now established as an independent consultant to LightLab for a six month period, located in Taipei. Joakim will be responsible for supplier selection, materials purchasing and component supply for the company's reference platform.
With effect from the first of April, LightLab is moving its evaluation lab from Chalmers in Gothenburg to Linköping. This is being done in order to increase and intensify the company's activities together with the company's technical partner in Mjärdevi Science Park. In connection with these organisational changes, Qiu-Hong Hu is leaving the company on 31 March. Responsibility for research and development will come under Jonas Tirén, who is currently responsible for the development work.
Tor Ygdevik is also joining the company, with responsibility for overall project management in the development organisation.
