Komatsu Forest names Anna Fredriksson as new Plant Manager at Komatsu Forest in Umeå, Sweden. Anna is also the first woman ever to become a Plant manager within the global Komatsu Group.
Anna has a mechanical engineering degree and joined Komatsu Forest in 2011 when she did her master thesis while working in production. She then joined the quality department, where she over the years has worked with quality investigations and product quality, and then became head of the quality department in 2017. At the same time, she took a place in the factory's management team where she further strengthened her insights regarding the entire production process.
Anna took up the post at a very special time. Despite the current state of the corona pandemic, the company has been able to keep up a relatively normal business after all. In addition, the major challenge at the moment is to maintain and improve current production while looking ahead and preparing for the move to a new factory and the changes that will entail with a new, more modern production.
Komatsu Forest AB is one of the world's leading manufacturers of forest machines and related services and accessories.
