Fredrik Erlandsson, the current Head of Corporate Communications and Investor Relations at Thule Group (publ), has been appointed Head of Corporate Communications and Investor Relations and a member of NIBE Industrier AB’s Management team.

For the past 13 years, Fredrik has been part of the Management team at the Thule Group, playing a key role in the company’s repositioning as a global lifestyle company. Since the Group’s listing in 2014, Fredrik has been responsible for its collective communication initiatives and award-winning investor relations (IR) work. Prior to his employment at Thule, he held several positions in companies and organizations with responsibility for public affairs, opinion shaping and PR in a broad international environment.

“I am delighted to welcome Fredrik to NIBE and look forward to working with him to develop communications and IR even further,” says Gerteric Lindquist, Managing Director and CEO of NIBE Industrier.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to offer my sincerest thanks to Christel Fritiofsson, who has been Head of IR at NIBE Industrier AB since the company was first listed in 1997. Christel has held various positions at NIBE throughout her working life, reaching the milestone of 45 years at the company this summer, and we have been colleagues for almost 40 of those years. Handing over the IR baton to Fredrik will be a natural and harmonious process, as Christel will be gradually decreasing the time she spends at NIBE but will continue in her role as Board secretary.”

 “NIBE is a world-leading and expansive company in a number of different areas in the field of energy technology,” says Fredrik Erlandsson. “It’s one of the biggest companies on the Stockholm Stock Exchange and has enjoyed fantastic growth over a long period of time. I am very much looking forward to working with Gerteric and the rest of the staff at NIBE on further clarifying and reinforcing how the company is perceived externally - as the leading public Swedish company in its industry, driven by deep technical expertise and commercial success. I’m also looking forward to becoming part of the culture that has so obviously contributed to the company’s success.”

Fredrik Erlandsson will take up his post in summer 2024.
