Per Skoglund takes over as the new chief executive officer (CEO) of FVB Sverige AB on January 1, 2023. He has been the deputy CEO since 2017 and is succeeding Leif Breitholtz.
Mr Skoglund is taking over during a turbulent time in the world, particularly in the energy sector.
”This is the right time for our services. I feel strongly about the company and want to continue to develop our current business offerings,” he said.
From the beginning, FVB has been a strong provider of district heating and was the company that introduced district cooling in Sweden. FVB also works with energy issues relating to Industry, buildings and properties, electricity and automation, and water and sewage. The company currently has 150 employees with offices in ten locations in Sweden.
“We are continuing our strategy of organic growth within our current business offerings. We also want to expand within water and sewage, which will require major investments in the future,” continues Per Skoglund.
Mr Skoglund is the fourth CEO in FVB’s 50-year history. He has a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and has many years of experience in the energy sector. He has worked at FVB since 2003, mainly as head of the Stockholm office. As CEO, he will work at the head office in Västerås.
“We are very pleased with this recruitment. FVB is an employee-owned company and so we wanted an internal recruitment for the position of CEO. Per Skoglund has extensive experience in the energy sector and knows the company. He is also well-known by our customers and is very professional in his role,” says FVB Sverige AB chair of the board Lars Andersson. Mr Breitholtz was the company’s CEO for 17 years and will continue to work with the business as a senior advisor, with responsibility for foreign operations.
