In addition, Mats Wäppling (former CEO of Sweco) and Olof Ehrlén (former CEO of NCC) will be appointed as board members of Instalco Holding. “Based on my 20 years of experience as a manager in the installation industry, I see exciting opportunities in the market for a player that combines the strength of a large company with high local flexibility and customer focus. By establishing Instalco, we are creating a uniquely positioned company in terms of multi-technical competencies, quality of service and position to drive consolidation. We look forward to working with the skilled employees of Instalco to develop the group” commented Per Sjöstrand.
