Nomination committee

Election of chairman and other directors to the board of directors

The number of directors is proposed to 6 (6) with no deputy directors.

The nomination committee proposes re-election of the directors: Göran Carlson, Magnus Johansson, Annika Sten Pärson, Staffan Jufors and Carina Olson. Furthermore new election of Anders Nielsen. Göran Carlson is proposed to be re-elected as chairman of the board. Arne Karlsson has declined re-election.

The nomination committee has put great emphasis on understanding how the board currently works as well as the company’s strategy and future development when discussing the competence and experience needed in the board of directors. The nomination committee has taken part of the evaluation of the board and its work and has also conducted interviews with the board members.

Considering that the board lacks extensive experience from operations and logistics, the nomination committee´s explicit intention has been to add such expertise to the board.

After studies in Industrial Engineering and Management at Linköpings Tekniska Högskola, Anders was employed at Scania in 1987. During his first years at Scania he was Production manager for transmissions and cabins as well as Techincal director for Latin America. In recent years, Anders has been globally responsible for operations and logistics within Scania before he in 2012 was appointed President for MAN Truck & Bus.
