Ragnar’s and Kristian’s previous experiences will be very important to us at Frigoscandia, supporting our growth journey. They will both highly contribute to the continued work towards our business goals, both in the management team as well as in their respective functions, says Peter Haveneth, CEO of Frigoscandia.

Frigoscandia focuses on strengthening its customers’ competitiveness by further developing the service portfolio as well as launching new disruptive solutions. This will be a high priority for Ragnar Landin as responsible for the commercial department.

I am looking forward to getting to know the team and contributing to the continued development in the best possible way. Frigoscandia has a unique market position in the Nordic countries and operates in an exciting niche of the logistics industry, which now is changing significantly, says Ragnar Landin.
