The Nomination Committee of Trelleborg AB proposes that the 2018 Annual General Meeting elect Panu Routila and Jan Ståhlberg as new members of the Board.
The Nomination Committee also proposes the re-election of the following Board members to the 2018 Annual General Meeting: Hans Biörck, Gunilla Fransson, Johan Malmquist, Peter Nilsson, Anne Mette Olesen and Susanne Pahlén Åklundh.

Trelleborg’s Chairman of the Board, Sören Mellstig, and Board member Bo Risberg have both declared that they will not be available for re-election at the 2018 Annual General Meeting.
To complement the Board, the Nomination Committee has actively sought new members who have experience in both industrial and international operations, and that have worked with structural changes.
