Entering a new phase
"With the collaboration with Antin Infrastructure Partners in place, Enviro takes a new step in its development, which requires a new type of leadership. That such an experienced and qualified leader as Fredrik Emilson steps into the role of CEO is truly gratifying as it gives the company very good conditions during its next phase. At the same time as I welcome Fredrik, I and the rest of the board also want to thank Thomas Sörensson for a very good contribution. During his eight years as CEO of the company, he has, among other things, been involved in developing our first manufacturing unit in Åsensbruk, the launch of the strategic partnership with Michelin and most recently, the creation of the world’s first large-scale tire recycling group together with Antin”, says Alf Blomqvist, chairman of Enviro.
