Erik Williamsson, currently President Region Asia and member of the Group Management, will retire as of February 1, 2006, but will continue with a number of board assignments within the Group. “We think that the time is right to adapt the organization to the increasing global opportunities relating to customers, manufacturing, product development and sourcing. The organization has been modified gradually over the past years as a preparation to the step we now take”, says Lennart Evrell, CEO. Financial information Munters “segment reporting” will be changed from the third quarter to reflect the new organization. Reporting for the first half of 2005 will follow the present organization. The global Divisions will be the “primary segments” and thus be reporting Order Intake, Net Sales, Operating Earnings, Operating Capital and Employees. The Regions will be the “secondary segments” and consequently Operating earnings will no longer be reported by Region.
