Major personnel changes have been implemented, and a significant proportion of production now takes place at the group's units outside Sweden. Our strategy and future focus on Nearsourcing remains firm. We will now further increase our market offensive, which is why it is natural to transfer NOTE's leadership to Knut Pogost, who has solid experience of international sales and marketing in the electronics industry.<\/p>\n<p>The Board of Directors would like to thank the outgoing CEO and President, Arne Forslund, for a job well done in initiating the group's extensive rationalisation and renewal work, which has laid the foundation for the new NOTE.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mfn-footer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mfn-footer mfn-about\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mfn-footer mfn-attachment mfn-attachment-general\">\n<p><strong class=\"mfn-heading-1\">Attached files<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/feed.ne.cision.com\/Commands\/File.aspx?id=981904\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">wkr0011.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script>\n                Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(\".mfn-footer.mfn-attachment\")).forEach(function (el) { el.remove() });\n            <\/script>\n        <div class=\"mfn-attachments-container\"><div class=\"mfn-attachment\"><a class=\"mfn-attachment-link\" href=\"https:\/\/storage.mfn.se\/proxy\/wkr0011-pdf.pdf?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffeed.ne.cision.com%2FCommands%2FFile.aspx%3Fid%3D981904\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"mfn-attachment-icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.mfn.se\/proxy\/wkr0011-pdf.pdf?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffeed.ne.cision.com%2FCommands%2FFile.aspx%3Fid%3D981904&type=jpg\"><\/span>wkr0011.pdf<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Board of Directors of NOTE AB has appointed Knut Pogost as the new Managing Director and Group CEO of NOTE.
