Bengt Thorsson appointed interim CEO of Piab Group
Piab Group announces that CEO, Peter Laurin, will step down from his role following a mutual agreement with the Board of Directors. The Board has appointed Bengt Thorsson, previous CEO of Permobil, to serve as interim CEO during the search for a permanent successor, effective May 1. Peter will stay on until April 30 to ensure an orderly transition.
“The Board and Peter have jointly concluded that this is an appropriate time for a leadership transition. During his tenure, the company has doubled its revenues, expanded its global footprint and product offering, and completed several important acquisitions while navigating a challenging macroeconomic environment. The Board thanks Peter for his valuable contributions,” says Mats Rahmström, Chair of the Board of Piab Group.
“It has been a privilege to lead Piab Group over the past four years, a period during which we have doubled our revenues, broadened our product portfolio and strengthened our market position globally. The company is now well positioned to enter the next phase of its growth journey, and I am convinced that Piab Group has every opportunity to continue developing strongly under new leadership. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all employees for your great commitment and for what we have achieved together, as well as to the Board for the trust and support I have received during my time as CEO,” says Peter Laurin, CEO of Piab Group.
“We are pleased to have Bengt Thorsson serve as interim CEO during this transition period. Bengt has a distinguished track record in executive leadership roles at global companies such as Scania, Dometic and most recently as CEO of Permobil,” says Mats Rahmström.
