In the search for Damstahl’s new CEO, Mr Sthaalros, together with Damstahl’s owner family and board, focussed on securing the best further development for Damstahl and are pleased to announce that Mr Michael Lund has accepted this challenge.

“We wanted to find a customer, sales and market-oriented person with deep and broad experience from our industry.
