Anders Paulsson has made a very valuable contribution to DIAB during his nine years as CEO. Under his strong leadership and innovative efforts, DIAB became established in new, growing markets and created a unique total offering. While Anders now wishes to leave his executive role, it is valuable that we will continue to have access to his knowledge of the company and the market. |

"In our opinion, his experience combined with his personal qualities make him highly suitable as CEO of DIAB. We in the board are convinced that Lennart, together with the management group and other employees, will continue to develop DIAB’s offering and manage the challenging business environment which has affected the company over the past year.”
