With growth plans in mind, MWM has appointed former Wifag-Polytype Technologies chief executive Jörgen Karlsson to its board.

The Stockholm-based software and consultancy will move into Germany and also the packaging segment, with Karlsson overseeing the expansion.

He most recently served as chief executive of Wifag-Polytype Technologies,

part of Swiss Wifag-Polytype Group, which included the Wifag newspaper press, Polytype Converting and Polytype digital business units. He previously ran the renowned Swedish press manufacturer Solna Offset for ten years as the main shareholder.

MWM's owner Tony Svensson says Jörgen Karlsson brings experience of the international publishing and packaging industry segments: "This is a good fit with the planned further expansion of MWM outside Scandinavia and the USA," he says.
