The B&B TOOLS Group is entering a new phase following a period that was marked
by comprehensive change efforts. Moving forward, there will be a sharp focus on
such areas as value-based sales, profitability and customer proximity. With the
aim of enhancing efficiency in the management and review of the operating
activities, and thus making more decisions closer to the customers and
operations, the Board and management of B&B TOOLS have decided to introduce a
new organisational structure with fewer management levels at the highest level
of the Group. Accordingly, as of 1 January 2013, the Group's operating areas
will report directly to CEO Ulf Lilius and jointly comprise the Group's
management team.
As of 1 January 2013, the B&B TOOLS Group's management team will comprise: the President & CEO, Chief Financial Officer, the Country Managers for TOOLS in Sweden, Norway and Finland, the President of TOOLS Momentum, the Presidents of the Group's four Business Areas, and the Head of the Group's Business Infrastructure Unit.
The Group's current Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Peter Gustafsson, will leave B&B TOOLS on 31 December 2012.
