“I'm really excited to be joining Moelven, a company with values that are closely aligned to my own, with both a strong commitment to sustainability and significant growth momentum. With my experience in turning strategy into action and driving real results, I look forward to contributing to this journey. It's inspiring to see the competence and energy in the team – and I’m truly excited to become a part of it” says Paz
In addition to his timber industry expertise, Paz also has a strong background in other sectors, having held senior roles at Coca-Cola Enterprises and Kettle Foods. This diverse experience will bring valuable new perspectives to Moelven’s operations and strategic development.
Major Investments Now Operational – Enabling UK Growth
Moelven has recently commissioned major investments in its production facilities, particularly at Moelven Valåsen and Moelven Edanesågen. These upgrades are now operational and enable significantly larger volumes of planed structural timber for export, including to the UK market. These investments are central to Moelven’s growth strategy in the UK, where the objective is to broaden the product portfolio and achieve a significant increase in sales.
Pehr Eriksson Continues in Key Sales Role
As Paz steps into the role of Managing Director, Pehr Eriksson will become Sales Director, with a strong focus on expanding Moelven’s presence in the UK. Pehr’s strong customer focus and deep market understanding will be key as Moelven continues to grow. His ability to match the right products to the requirements of UK customers will remain central to our strategy – and his continious engagement will be a driving force in strengthening our position.
“As a UK team we are very excited about the investments becoming fully operational. They will bring real benefits to our customers through increased capacity, improved efficiency and an opportunity to provide better solutions. I want to express a very warm welcome to Mr Paz as he joins the Moelven family, particularly the UK team. We have an exciting journey ahead.” Says Pehr Eriksson, Sales Director Moelven UK Ltd
