Sandvik has appointed Lars Engström as the President of Sandvik Mining. He will be included as a new member of Sandvik’s Group Executive Management. Lars Engström, previous President and CEO of the air treatment solutions company Munters, has an extensive industrial background with over a decade’s experience in the mining and construction industry. “I have come to the conclusion that a new leadership is needed to develop Sandvik Mining going forward. I am convinced that Lars Engström, whom I know well from Atlas Copco, has the experience and the leadership qualities required for this. At the same time I would like to thank Scot Smith, who leaves Sandvik, for his contributions,” says Sandvik’s President and CEO Björn Rosengren.
