Enviro appoints Emilson CEO, advisory role for Sörensson

On 5 February 2024, Fredrik Emilson will succeed Thomas Sörensson as chief executive officer of Scandinavian Enviro Systems (Enviro). On this date, Sörensson will transition to the position of senior advisor.

Fredrik Emilson joins the company from Swedish powdered metals firm Höganäs AB, where he worked since 2010, initially in European and Asian management roles and since 2017 as chief executive officer. Prior experience also includes six years with the Trelleborg group. Enviro comments that these positions enabled him to accumulate “extensive experience in industrialisation combined with sustainability issues” as well as gain extensive experience working with the automotive industry.

“Enviro are among the companies that have a real opportunity to make a significant difference and contribute positively to the ongoing climate transition,” says Emilson. “The company has acquired an extremely interesting position, and it will be very exciting to be involved in scaling up its operations with the ambition of reaching a world-leading position.”

Entering a new phase

“With the collaboration with Antin Infrastructure Partners in place, Enviro takes a new step in its development, which requires a new type of leadership,” states Alf Blomqvist, chairman of Enviro. “That such an experienced and qualified leader as Fredrik Emilson steps into the role of CEO is truly gratifying as it gives the company very good conditions during its next phase.

“At the same time as I welcome Fredrik, I and the rest of the board also want to thank Thomas Sörensson for a very good contribution,” Blomqvist continues. “During his eight years as CEO of the company, he has, among other things, been involved in developing our first manufacturing unit in Åsensbruk, the launch of the strategic partnership with Michelin and most recently, the creation of the world’s first large-scale tyre recycling group together with Antin.”
