However, he intends to continue serving as Chairman of the Nomination Committee in his capacity as the principal owner of the company. Johan Wall has been nominated as his successor as Chairman of the Board.

“Once I was the youngest CEO on the stock exchange. Now I am its oldest Chairman,” says Anders Wall. “After nearly 23 years, I have now decided to step down from the Board of Beijer Alma. However, I am pleased that my son Johan Wall has been nominated for election as the new Chairman of the Board since this demonstrates my family’s clear commitment to the continued development of the Group.

“As I now step down from the Board, I leave behind me a Beijer Alma that has delivered its strongest earnings to date in the company’s 30-year history. It has been stimulating to be part of this journey, during which we have seen our companies develop into successful, international operations with sales in some 60 markets.”

Beijer Alma’s 2016 Annual General Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 5 at 6:00 p.m. at Uppsala Concert and Conference Hall (Uppsala Koncert & Kongress) in Uppsala, Sweden.
