Scania East Africa chooses managing director


Scania East Africa has appointed Lars Eklund as the company’s managing director effective 1 October 2020, where he will also be heading the East Africa business unit that covers Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda. He brings profound experience and understanding of the region which will help him to substantially advance the performance of Scania's business unit in East Africa.

 

Eklund takes over from Per Holmstrom, who has been at the company for the last seven years and is taking his final bow at Scania after 41 years. Eklund is no stranger to the region, having worked as managing director at Scania Tanzania for the last four years.

 

During his tenure in Tanzania, he turned around the company, significantly growing its revenue by over 150% through the restructuring and implementation of new processes that made Scania Tanzania more efficient in its daily operations. (mw)
