The various operations of this new division will be organised in a de-centralized business model. It will have separate product areas based on the product offering.

In addition, manufacturing units are already largely shared with to some extent shared front line resources. By joining the operations into one business area we achieve a leaner and more efficient structure. The decentralized business model enables an even clearer focus and faster response to our customers," said Björn Rosengren, Sandvik´s president and CEO.

The new structure will be effective as from 1st July 2016 and Lars Engström, currently President of Sandvik Mining has been appointed president of the new business area, Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology. Dinggui Gao, president of Sandvik Construction will leave the company as of 1st July 2016.
