Mats will be joining the technical sales team in Sweden — at WEG’s Scandinavian headquarters — where he will offer technical support and manage projects related to LV motor solutions. His comprehensive engineering knowledge and problem-solving skills will prove to be essential as WEG continues to expand this business area.

Further additions to the technical sales team include Andreas Olsson, taking on the role of Technical and Project Engineer for LV Motors along with Felipe Boeger Tezza. Tezza is now based in WEG’s newly established sales structure in Denmark, having completed a comprehensive training period at WSC in Sweden. With a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and a diverse career background that includes manufacturing engineering in the automotive industry and experience at WEG Motors in Brazil within the international sales division.

Additionally, Fredrik Erlandsson, who initially served as a consultant in WEG Scandinavia’s warehouse, has now become an official part of the team in the role of a warehouse worker.

Lastly, Marco Aurelio Correa has been appointed as sales supervisor for LV drives and gearboxes. Marco will lead the internal sales team in the Nordic countries, focusing on maintaining strong customer relationships. His extensive sales and leadership experience make him an ideal candidate for this position. Aurelio Correa’s appointment follows WEG’s global launch of the CFW900 drive, the latest variable speed drive from WEG.

“WEG Scandinavia is committed to providing the highest quality geared motors, gearboxes, and other power transmission solutions to customers across the Nordic region and beyond,” explained Anders Näzell, managing director of WEG Scandinavia “With the addition of these new senior hires, the company is better positioned than ever to deliver on that commitment.”
