Jörgen Rosengren New CEO of Bufab

Jorgen Rosengren has been appointed new CEO of Bufab. He will accede as CEO and president during the summer of 2012.

Jorgen Rosengren, who has an M.Sc in engineering, has been employed by the Husqvarna Group since 2004, most recently as global head of its handheld products, e.g. chainsaws. Previously, he held different positions within Electrolux and McKinsey & Company, as well as Philips Electronics in the Netherlands.

The appointment was a joint decision made by the owners, the board, and Bufab’s present CEO and president Hans Bjorstrand, who very successfully built and developed the company since its foundation in 1977.

"I want to warmly welcome Jorgen to Bufab. With his broad international experience, he is well suited to further strengthen the company’s position both in and outside Sweden", commented Sven-Olof Kulldorff, chairman of the board, Bufab.

Sven-Olof adds: "At the same time, I want to thank Hans, who in connection with Jorgen’s access leaves his operative position in the company and instead will continue to support Bufab as a member of the board. Through a consistent focus on profitability and a long-term growth strategy during the past 35 years, Hans has led the construction of Bufab from the ground to become the leading supplier of small parts in the Nordic region, as well as one of the biggest and most profitable players in Europe. That is a fantastic performance.”
