- First of all, I would like to thank Anders Lundström for his important role in the construction of Svenska Aerogel and regret that he leaves. At the same time, we welcome Tor Einar Norbakk, who has a very good background for leading Svenska Aerogel in our continued development. We are building an extensive production facility to take advantage of the great global interest for Quartzene - our very strong version of aerogel, says Christer Sjöström, Chairman and Founder of Svenska Aerogel.
Anders Lundström, as CEO, has driven the development of Svenska Aerogel from a research company to a commercial company with global focus.
-It has been intense and fun years. I am very proud of what the team at Svenska Aerogel and I have achieved together. As the company leaves the start-up phase and becomes a manufacturing industry, it is natural to have another leadership, says Anders Lundström.
