Trelleborg proposes Carlson as new director

The Nomination Committee of Swedish company Trelleborg AB will propose the election of Jan Carlson as a new director of the board at its 2013 Annual General Meeting next April. The committee has also decided to propose the re-election of Heléne Vibbleus Bergquist, Claes Lindqvist, Sören Mellstig, Hans Biörck, Nina Udnes Tronstad, Bo Risberg and Peter Nilsson as directors. As previously announced, the Nomination Committee has decided to propose the election of current director, Sören Mellstig, as the new chairman of the board, succeeding Anders Narvinger, who declared he is not available for re-election.

Trelleborg is a global industrial group with operations in more than 40 countries. The Nomination Committee actively sought a replacement for Anders Narvinger who has experience and knowledge of international business. The Nominating Committee believes that Jan Carlson has these characteristics and is a very appropriate person to complete the board of Trelleborg AB. Carlson has served as the president and CEO of Autoliv since 2007. He has held various positions within Autoliv since 1999 and has also been president of SAAB Combitech. Besides being a director of Autoliv Inc., Jan Carlson is also a director of Teknikföretagen and BorgWarner Inc.
