Magnus Ekerot is new MD of Beijer Electronics Products
Starting on 1 January 2009, Magnus Ekerot is the new Managing Director for Beijer Electronics Products AB. Conny Persson, who held the post before him, is retiring, leaving the company after 26 years.
Magnus Ekerot joins Beijer Electronics from Axis Communications GmbH in Munich, Germany, where he has held the position of Managing Director responsible for Middle and Central/Eastern Europe for the past five years. Before that he graduated from Lund and Edinburg University, got an MBA from Henley Management College, UK and a PhD in Strategic Management from Ludwig-Maximillians Universitt in Munich, Germany.
CEO of Beijer Electronics Fredrik Jnsson explains: "We needed someone who can help us continue our positive development with products that are constantly in the front end of modern technology. Mr Ekerot's experience from a quickly growing technology company is exactly what we were looking for. He will contribute in reinforcing a customer driven sales organisation and his international experience will be a strong asset for HMI Products and the challenges they face."
Mr Ekerot says: "Beijer Electronics is facing many very interesting opportunities and challenges going forward. The company has an excellent history and reputation within the human machine interface (HMI) field and is perfectly positioned for even higher growth from both a technological as well as from a market perspective. Our international presence and customers from various vertical industry segments gives us the right platform to further build our expansion and growth on. I personally very much look forward to be part of this journey."
