During his years as Chairman, the business has gone through a number of challenging development stages, which created the conditions for today's Nexam Chemical, fast growing and well positioned for continued success, ”says incoming Chairman Mats Persson.

As new Chairman, Mats Persson fulfills all the qualifications that can be placed on him in this role and he has also shown an incredible commitment and high work capacity. I want to thank all my colleagues and employees at Nexam Chemical for the exciting years together. Building a company in the materials industry is one of the most challenging things you can do. It has been tougher and has taken more time than we expected, but today we are over the threshold and I am sure that the Company is now facing a great stage. Then it feels good to hand over. As a major shareholder, I will continue to be very committed to Nexam Chemical, ”says Lennart Holm in a comment.
