Nefab Group has, at the latest General Meeting, decided upon changes to the Board of Directors. Sofia Axelsson, CEO Corroventa Group, is elected Board Director, replacing Jochum Pihl who after more than 46 years within the company is stepping down to enable succession to new Board Directors. Sofia has a long and extensive business background with leading positions in a number of organizations such as Husqvarna Group AB, Svedbergs Group, and Inwido AB.

 

Sofia Axelsson says:  

“I am both grateful and honored to have been offered the opportunity to join the board of Nefab Group. My previous experiences in international industries, and in the consumer business sector, have provided me with valuable insights that I believe can benefit Nefab. I am excited about this role, and I am looking forward to working with the team to further drive the company's success.”

Jochum Pihl says:  

”My first contact with Nefab stretches more than five decades back in time. For me it has been an incredible journey together with my wife, Ing-Marie. We both feel that we have lived up to the vision we set out to follow after the transfer of the company from Ing-Marie's father to us as second-generation owners. I want to thank all the committed people that have believed in our vision and contributed to the fantastic development of Nefab. Personally, I have spent a lot of time striving for the right ownership structure. It took some time and testing of different structures. Finally, we have landed in the perfect match, together with FAM AB. This gives me great satisfaction and a true belief that the future will be favorable to Nefab’s further development. There are no limits to what can be achieved.”
