“At the same time, I wish to extend thanks and appreciation to Reidar Lyse for the excellent efforts during his years leading the company. It is also highly comforting to know that Reidar remains at hand to support management,” adds Olof Persson.
“This is a very exciting challenge,” says Odd Tore Kurverud.
