Magnus Welén is appointed as the new CEO of Prevas AB, succeeding Johan Strid, who has made the decision to terminate his employment. Johan has, however, made himself available to serve on the board of directors. Magnus Welén will begin his duties as the new CEO on June 1, 2023.

Magnus Welén is currently regional manager for Mälardalen and is the managing director of Prevas' largest subsidiary, Prevas Industrial Innovation AB, as well as a member of Prevas' operational management team. Magnus Welén joined Prevas through the acquisition of Deva Mecaneyes AB in 2021, where Magnus has been the managing director since 2008. Magnus Welén has solid experience from management positions in the consulting industry as well as from industrial companies such as ABB, Sandvik and Snap On Inc. Christer Parkegren emphasizes Magnus Welén's experience from driving long-term, qualitative and profitable growth in the consulting industry.

His broad experience from the customer side and the ability to lead large organizations are key qualities that are important and that will come in handy in his new role as the CEO at Prevas. Johan Strid has been CEO at Prevas since 2018 and will be passing the reins to Magnus Welén in June. During his years at Prevas, he has successfully implemented several changes and made the company one of the most profitable in the industry.

To ensure an orderly transition, he will continue in his current role until Magnus takes over.
