Scandstick, a Beontag company, has announced a new senior European leadership team, marking a new phase of strategic growth for the company. The company’s new leadership will be led by a new Managing Director, Tommi Heinonen, who joins from a leadership role at UPM Specialty Paper, and overseen by Mauro Lerner, Beontag’s global vice president of lamination.

Since becoming a Beontag company in 2022, Scandstick has been preparing to make the most of its transition from a leading European manufacturer, to a company that can truly benefit from the resources, expertise, operational oversight and support of a global leader in this industry.

The new senior European leadership tier is being established to fully oversee expanded European business operations, managing four sites across Europe, to help realize the company’s growth ambitions.

Supporting the Heinonen, the company has named Niels Schou as commercial director, joining Scandstick from Avery Dennison in April; Joakim Svensson as operations director, formerly of healthcare manufacturer Stryker; and Jesper Serle, long-standing CFO of Scandstick to complete the team.

Finally, Scandstick and Beontag extends thanks to the Fredin family for more than 40 years of service and commitment to the Scandstick business. “What follows will maintain the rich heritage, personal touch and deep institutional knowledge of the company, while bringing new operational efficiencies, Research & Development initiatives, international best practice, and a wider array of solutions to their customers,” the company says.
