Thordon appoints Michael Haraldsson
Canadian-based Thordon Bearings, a provider of environmentally safe propeller shaft bearings and seal systems, has chosen Michael Haraldsson as its new marine business development manager. A native of Sweden, Haraldsson has more than 25 years of strategic sales experience across a myriad of maritime sectors, having held senior sales positions with well-known original equipment manufacturers and service providers, including Consilium, De Nora, Jowa and Harris Pye.
Haraldsson will operate from Thordon’s office in London (UK), where he will be the main point of contact for those European and Middle Eastern shipowners and shipyards looking to reduce operational costs and improve environmental footprints through the elimination of pollution from oil and grease lubricated bearings and seals.
“I am delighted to join Thordon Bearings, a company with a recognised reputation for quality, robust, state-of-the-art marine products, alongside a commitment to environmental excellence,” Haraldsson said. (mw)
