Effective 1 January 2018, the Indutrade Group will be organised in eight Business Areas, instead of six at present.

"Our history dates back to 1978 and since then, the Group has kept some fundamental principles that still applies - decentralization, entrepreneurship and profitable growth", says Bo Annvik, President and CEO. "For almost 40 years, these principles have characterized the development of our Group, and they will continue to characterize the development also in the future."
