Rottneros announced that President and Chief Executive Officer Lennart Eberleh has resigned and will leave the company during the first half of 2026 to take up a position outside the Group. 

The Board has initiated a process to recruit his successor.

Eberleh has led Rottneros since 2016, overseeing a period marked by a sharper strategic focus and improved operational efficiency. Under his tenure, the Swedish pulp producer strengthened its position in selected niche pulp markets while enhancing the efficiency and reliability of its production platform.

“Lennart has done a solid job of developing the Group into the strong position it holds today in several selected niches in the pulp market, along with an efficient production apparatus,” said Per Lundeen, Chairman of the Board of Rottneros AB.

Eberleh will remain in his role during the transition period to ensure leadership continuity while the recruitment process proceeds.

Rottneros is a Sweden-based pulp producer specializing in high-quality mechanical and chemical pulps for selected niche applications, including packaging, paper, and board. The Group operates production facilities in Sweden and Finland and focuses on fiber efficiency, product differentiation, and cost-competitive manufacturing.
