Management team

Our CEO Magnus Sandberg is tasked with leading the business and developing both staff and the company in a sustainable way. He has been employed since 2018 when he came back after a time when he tried other industries, such as aluminum and the snuff industry. Fast decision-making processes and close cooperation with the schools in the municipality are some of the things Magnus values most.

He enjoys traveling, sun and warmth are something that is appreciated, both in countries such as Greece and Thailand. If he gets a moment to spare, he likes to go to the golf course or a padel match with friends. The hammer symbolizes calm, carpentry is both fun and relaxing. In the headphones when the chop saw goes full blast, it could very well be a raucous Iron Maiden song.

Viktor Karlsson joined MP bolagen after summer of 2017 and is responsible together with Lennart Hallengren for the sales organization in Sweden. As a educated electrician, he previously handled many products in his professional role. Nowadays, the focus is on making contacts and of course selling our products. Viktor likes to take on new challenges together with his colleagues, both in the sales team and in production.

In his spare time, various forms of rowing, padel and quiet TV evenings are mixed. Don't be surprised if you meet him on a mountain in Norway or on a Greek island like Milos as he loves being out in nature and hiking. And on the playlist, Dermot Kennedy provides the entertainment.

Anders Svennung has been part of the company since 2014 and is responsible for production at our manufacturing units. Anders emphasizes the importance of working with sustainability and having a long-term strategy in everything we do. He feels extra satisfaction in the fact that the company contributes to community development through its foundation.

In his free time, Anders prefers to spend time with his family and friends, and he also works on various projects at home on the farm. When it comes to favorite destinations, it is a skiing holiday in the mountains with the family that attracts Anders the most.

His favorite song is Dance with somebody by Mando Diao. A personal item that Anders would have liked to take with him to the photo studio, but which did not have room, is the excavator. Instead, he chose to photograph his ski helmet because he loves to ski slalom.

When Peter Thomsen isn't thinking about twisting a piece of sheet metal to become a door frame on a truck or similar, he likes to take his wife on a ride with the bike.

As head of our department for tool manufacturing since spring 2020, he likes a stable and safe employer who is at the forefront.

Peter came to us from Husqvarna where he was responsible for developing tools for chainsaw chains, so this is his thing.

He likes to relax in the hammock by the summer house and spend time with friends, children and grandchildren. Most music is listened to in the helmet, and if he gets time to go on small and big adventures, he is most comfortable.

Patrick Sandell joined MP bolagen on April 16, 2018. He has a significant area of responsibility within the company that includes purchasing as well as managing inventory and logistics. For Patrick, the best about MP bolagen is the team of employees he has the privilege of working with.

When he is not at work, Patrick spends a lot of time following his children's activities and getting involved in their lives. Golf is another of his interests, and he likes to play when he gets the chance to enjoy the green.

When it comes to travel, Patrick doesn't have a specific favorite destination, instead he loves discovering new places. He often prefers destinations with sun, warmth and opportunities for swimming. In terms of music, his favorite song is Fix You by Coldplay. 

Mats is part of our team since March 1, 2024, after working in product development at a major company in aluminum processing. In his current role as Product Development Manager, he enjoys the familial atmosphere and the wide range of products.In his free time, he enjoys playing golf and loves working on and ride his classic Italian scooters. But his interests also extend to building things, which can range from electrifying a longboard to building his own CNC machine. Mats doesn't have a specific favorite artist, but he enjoys listening to rock music to get in the right mood.
When it comes to dream destinations, the choice is easy for Mats - Croatia. There, the sun, the sea, and the opportunity for snorkeling appeal to him the most.

In his spare time, Anders devotes himself to exercise and continuous learning, particularly interested in subjects where he feels he has a lack of knowledge. A personal passion for him is SIM-racing so when he needs time for himself he loses himself in the virtual world with his VR glasses. When he sits behind the wheel of a racing car and drives on different tracks around the world.

Anders has a strong connection to Italy, especially the Rimini region, and considers it his second home. His love for the country has its roots in his youth, when he spent a lot of time there. It is not unusual for him to be asked if he is from Italy. When it comes to music, Anders has a hard time picking a favorite song, but he names a few songs that he enjoys, from Maria Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You to Marilyn Manson's  Beautiful People. This breadth of musical taste gives an insight into Anders' varied interests and personality.
