Fredrik Häggström Takes Helm at Expin Group as CEO
Portfolio - People | Feb 14, 2025 | Ratos
Fredrik Häggström has been appointed as the President and CEO of Expin Group, a company under Ratos. Häggström, who will continue in his role as CEO of subsidiary Elektrosignal Infra, takes over from Robert Röder, following Expin Group's strategic restructuring aimed at focusing on electrification, signal, and telecommunications systems in the rail infrastructure sector. Ratos, a Swedish business group with a focus on infrastructure and technology, sees this restructuring as an opportunity to enhance cooperative ventures across borders, particularly with Finland, to expand infrastructure investments both in Sweden and Finland. The restructuring results in a streamlined management structure and integrates operations into fewer companies. Häggström is expected to leverage his extensive experience to build a stable, resilient business through integrated market resources, reducing economic sensitivity. Ratos, led by a firm dedication to simplicity, speed, and people, views this transition as a step to strengthen its competence and capacity for future growth.
