 - Non regulatory

- The years with Rottneros have been extremely exciting and intensive. Rottneros has developed from a traditional pulp producer with individual mills into a modern group that is entering the packaging industry. This contributes to that our strong dependence of external factors such as the dollar rate which has substantially moved both up and down now during my years as CEO is decreasing, says Lars Blecko. The reason for me leaving Rottneros is that I have received an exciting opportunity to lead the development of an advanced service company with over 20 000 employees and operations all over Europe and USA.

- I am sad to see Lars Blecko leave Rottneros however understand that he wants to take on new challenges after eight years with us, says Rottneros’ Chairman of the Board Bengt Nordin.

The assignment of recruiting a new CEO has begun.
