Opcon: Claes Palm appointed new CFO and deputy CEO of Opcon AB
Claes Palm has been appointed as the new CFO and deputy CEO of Opcon AB. Claes Palm replaces Göran Falkenström, who is leaving Opcon and entering retirement. Opcon has decided to wind up all remaining administration and operations in Åmal where Goran Falkenström has been stationed.

In addition, the office and other external services in administration have been given notice. The measures are part of a savings program announced in February that will generate annual savings of around SEK 30 million.
