Anders Carlson has been appointed the new President for the V&S Wine business area within V&S Group.

Anders Carlson, 40, joins V&S from a position as CEO of Fujicolor. Previous positions include CEO of Stepstone Sweden and many years with Unilever.

“I am very pleased with the recruitment of Anders. He has long experience of consumer goods segments when it comes to sales, marketing and leadership. This background suits V&S Wine ideally as we now complete construction of V&S’s Nordic wine operation, which Håkan Matz has laid the foundation for in recent years,” says Bengt Baron, CEO of V&S Group.

Anders Carlson is expected to take up his post during spring 2006. He succeeds Håkan Matz, who is leaving V&S at the beginning of 2006.
