STOCKHOLM -- Mydata Automation last month named Bengt Broman as its next president, replacing Mårten Lundberg, who is leaving the company after 18 years.
Broman is currently president of Teracom AB, and is a former president of LGP Allgon, which was partly owned by Mydata's parent, Skanditek.
In a press release, Broman said, "Mydata is a successful Swedish innovation company with a strong global position within its market segment. It will be extremely stimulating leading Mydata and its competent employees into the next phase of its development. My previous experience with Skanditek as principal owner is that the company adopts a long-term industrial approach, which I support."
