Katarina Lindström Officially Joins Hempel as Chief Operating Officer

By: Coatings World staff

New Executive VP and Chief Operating Officer Katarina Lindström officially joined Hempel on Aug. 1. 
 
In this role and as a member of the company’s Executive Management Board, Lindström will play a central role in driving Hempel’s strategy. 
 
The company has an ambition to double in size in the next five years, and Katarina will lead Hempel’s strategic agenda within operational excellence, innovation and sustainability.
 
“I’m very pleased to begin at Hempel. The company’s growth strategy is very ambitious, but also realistic and Hempel has a strong desire to lead sustainability in the coatings industry,” Lindström said. “I’m very excited to be part of that.”
 
As part of its long-term growth strategy, Hempel is making significant investments in innovation and sustainability, while strengthening its supply chain and manufacturing footprint, particularly in Asia-Pacific. 
 
Lindström will be responsible for many of these initiatives. 
 
“Katarina is a strong addition to our team. It is important to us to take a leading position in the industry within market-driven innovation and sustainability. Katarina will play a significant part in this,” said Lars Petersson, group president and CEO of Hempel.
 
Lindström joins Hempel from Munters Group AB, a global leader in energy efficient and sustainable air treatment solutions, where she was president of operations. Before that, she held a series of global senior executive positions at Volvo Group.
