In addition, he has an extensive and solid experience from many of Trelleborg’s profiled areas, including structural improvements, growth initiatives, acquisitions and truly global operations. I am personally excited to have the opportunity to continue the successful development of Trelleborg Industrial Solutions together with Jean-Paul.”

“It is with great pleasure that I have accepted this assignment. I am committed to taking on this new responsibility, leveraging experience from other parts of the Group,” added Mindermann.

Mikael Fryklund has been business area president of Trelleborg Industrial Solutions since its creation in 2012, and has worked in various positions at Trelleborg for the past 15 years. “I would like to thank Mikael for the solid work that he has done for the business area and for the Group.
