Peter has been a member of the board of Scanreco since 2014 and possesses the qualities that we consider are needed to successfully take Scanreco to yet another level. He has solid industry experience from working with advanced industrial OEMs, controllers, and display platforms, as well as experience from software and sensor companies. He has a truly visionary approach, a drive to implement change and a strong focus on growth.”

Connectivity, machine learning and outstanding human machine interaction are natural themes for Scanreco in developing our solutions further. I know the Scanreco people from several years as a board member, and I am really looking forward to work closer together with the team and to take Scanreco forward. But first we must take Scanreco through the situation we are facing relating to Covid-19.”
