The business area Sandvik Mining and Construction will, during the first quarter of 2009, relocate the management for the Construction Segment from Svedala, Sweden to Singapore. This concerns six persons in leading positions.

Sandvik is now one of the world’s ten biggest companies in the global construction equipment industry. Typical operations for supply are tunneling, demolition and recycling, quarry and civil engineering – both surface and underground. The head offices of the other four segments within Sandvik Mining and Construction are located in Klagenfurt, Leoben (both in Austria), Tampere (Finland) and Sandviken (Sweden).
