“At Arbesko, we’ve been shoemakers since 1839 and are continuingly evolving”, says Peter Svensson, CEO of Arbesko Group, and continues:
“The addition of Jan as member of the Board of Directors gives us an even stronger executive team, with great contribution of competence and experience that we value, as we accelerate and evolve our strategy now that we’re part of the Bergman & Beving group. Jan’s skills in creating outstanding customer experiences, arrive in perfect time for our evolution – and will bring additional strength to our management team.

I am very much looking forward to work closely with Peter and the Management Team of Arbesko, and to be part of the ongoing groundbreaking development.
“With this recruitment we continue our investment in Arbesko, says Fredrik Valentin, Head of the Workplace Safety Division at Bergman & Beving and Chairman of the Board at Arbesko. “Bergman & Beving acquired Arbesko in April 2017 and is now taking the respected brand into the 21st century, with an extensive investment in brand re-vitalization and product portfolio improvements.”
